The sky was blue but Paris was most certainy green and white as Celtic fans piled in to the French capital to back Brendan Rodgers side against the most expensive team in football history.

Not even a 5-0 home defeat from Neymar and pals could deter the Celtic support with many of the fans already visiting Brussels and Munich earlier in the campaign.

The Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe were popular landmarks for the visiting fans with banners from Inverness, Tyneside and numerous other supporters clubs bringing an extra dash of colour to the streets of Paris.

Celtic have only been given an allocation of 2,000 tickets but it’s expected that there will be hoops fans in most areas of the stadium.

On the park Brendan Rodgers’ side are rank outsiders with some bookies offering 28/1 on an away win.

While Celtic are in action in the Parc des Princes a careful eye will be kept on Brussels where a win for Bayern Munich over Anderlecht will leave Celtic needing to avoid a 3-0 home defeat from the Belgian champions in matchday six to book a place in the Europa League.
