A leaked document claiming to show a traffic warning report around Celtic Park for Monday has been confirmed as a hoax.
It was claimed that Celtic were to parade their new manager on Monday after the document surfaced. However, a spokesperson for the council confirmed to The Herald that it was a fake.

Sorry to disappoint, but it's a fake."
