UEFA have confirmed there will be no minute's silence held before Celtic's Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The competition governing body announced the decision after a pre-match meeting between the two clubs today.
UEFA had released guidelines for matches involving UK clubs following the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
It was thought a minute's silence would be held before matches involving UK clubs playing abroad with players possibly wearing black armbands as a mark of respect.
However, it's now understood there will be no minute's silence before Celtic's match with a decision still to be made over the use of black armbands.
Shakhtar Donetsk did request anti-war messages be shown on screens during the match in Poland and UEFA approved the request.
The match is being played at the home of Legia Warsaw with Shakhtar not playing in Ukraine due to ongoing conflict in the country.
