A minute's silence to remember those who gave their lives in conflict was disrupted prior to Celtic's match against Aberdeen this afternoon.

Brendan Rodgers' side host the Pittodrie club at Parkhead today in the final Premiership match before the international break. 

With Armistice Day falling yesterday, clubs all around the UK paid their respects with a period of silence and poppies printed onto the players' shirts.

As both teams lined up around the centre circle at Celtic Park to fall silent, a section of the stadium failed to observe it.

Referee Willie Collum sounded his whistle to signal the start of the silence. 

But a short while after audible chants could be heard from the stands inside the ground. Some jeers then followed before it was swiftly ended.

Sky Sports were forced to issue an immediate on-air apology to viewers offended by the disruption. 

Our reporter at the scene Matthew Lindsay said: "The pre-match period of silence was disrupted by chanting in the safe-standing section at Parkhead. 

"Many fans booed around the ground, presumably at chanting, but maybe because there was a period of silence. It didn't last very long as Willie Collum ended it pretty sharply."

Celtic are looking to make amends for their horrible 6-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Celtic has a proud history of integrating players from its academy into the first team.

Callum McGregor and James Forrest are prime examples of modern-day success stories of the youth production line at Lennoxtown. Kieran Tierney is probably the most high-profile given his £25m move to the Premier League in 2019.

Anthony Ralston and Mikey Johnston remain on the club’s books. While they're not regular starters, both have shown that if the talent is matched by hard work and the right attitude, then Celtic will give them a chance.

In recent seasons the conveyor belt has slowed down. There have been fleeting appearances for the likes of Rocco Vata and Ben Summers. Of course, Ben Doak was heavily involved in first-team matters before Liverpool picked him up before the teenager got going at Parkhead.
