Watch Celtic fans bring pyro party to Motherwell as Fireworks Night arrives late in Lanarkshire

Celtic fans have created a massive pyro show at Fir Park this evening ahead of their game with Motherwell.

Fireworks night may have passed on Saturday but that hasn't put some punters off. The travelling support have packed out the Lanarkshire side's South Stand in anticipation of their final away match before the World Cup break, unveiling a huge banner that spanned the entire area with a message reading 'Our Light Shines On.' As the players emerged from the tunnel, a number of pyrotechnics were ignited as atmosphere built.

Joe Hart's goalmouth was hard to see in the opening exchanges due to the sheer amount of smoke generated by the pyro. Celtic have already been hit by a fine from UEFA in the Champions League this season for their use of fireworks. It's another important game for manager Ange Postecoglou but he has drawn the ire of Scotland manager Steve Clarke ahead of this, unhappy with his decision to not release Hoops player for this month's friendly v Turkey.

He said: "The baseline is that it's not an official international window. I don't know why because there's a World Cup window going on. That sounds pretty official to me.

"That's what it is. The clubs don't have to release their players and Celtic have chosen not to release their players for this game. I have to say I'm disappointed with that decision but we have to take it on the chin and it's a chance for someone else.

"It was just a blanket decision. Celtic have said that none of their players are available for any international games."
