Officially 8,000 are in the stadium to back Neil Lennon's men against Lazio in the Europa League with thousands more having travelled.

The Italian side have been hit with a partial stadium closure following racist abuse from fans during a Europa League fixture with French side Rennes.

Yet, that has not dulled the atmosphere in the Italian capital, aided by the huge band of Celtic fans.

A picture taken by The Athletic writer Kieran Devlin highlights the sheer numbers and colour of the travelling support.

Celtic fans created a raucous atmosphere in the previous match between the sides last month as Lennon's side came from a goal down to win 2-1.

However, it has been a difficult time for the Celtic support in Rome with two being stabbed in an Irish bar in the city by masked thugs.
