Plenty of Celtic fans have been left feeling proud of their side after they announced they will deliver Audio Descriptive commentary for their next game.

Indeed, the Bhoys will face Hibernian in their next Scottish Premier League match, and both clubs have teamed together to provide the service for supporters with different forms of visual impairment.

The news was shared on the Celtic website, where it was explained that Hoops commentator Kevin McColgan will join Hibs presenter George Thomson to provide a ‘special welcome back’ during the match.

The information was later shared online by the club’s official Twitter account and it seemed to go down well with many supporters.

Here’s what these Celtic fans said…

“Fantastic. Good to see improvements being made for fans who can’t enjoy it the same way we do.”
“Great to see clubs working together fit the benefit of fans. More of this please!”
“Great stuff yous are doing with the Hibees for blind people, hats off two both clubs!!”
“Well done to both clubs!”
“Amazing!”
“This initiative truly will make a massive difference to supporters with sensory disabilities , hopefully we see a lot more of this at every premier stadium . Great effort by both clubs.”
“Same auld Celtic…..always innovating!”
It’s great to see how happy these fans are that both Celtic and Hibernian can come together to provide such a positive service for football fans despite being rivals.

Of course, on the field, there should be plenty of excitement to keep track of with the two teams going head to head in the league. The Bhoys will be hoping to close the gap between them at Rangers at the top of the table, while Hibs will move into the top four with a win.
