Fans have flocked to Celtic Park to pay tribute to Lisbon Lion Billy McNeill.

The Hoops legend, who died last night at the age of 79, is immortalised with a statue outside the stadium, which has now been adorned with scarves, flowers and messages.

McNeill made 790 competitive appearances for Celtic, famously lifting the European Cup in 1967.
