Celtic and LASK held a moment of silence before their Europa Conference League tie in Austria to honor James, a supporter who died after last week's Champions League first leg at Celtic Park. During the pause, fans displayed a banner reading "Rest in peace, James." Celtic expressed gratitude to LASK for the tribute, calling it a sign of respect. Last week, the club thanked emergency services and fans for their response to the tragic incident.

The statement extended deepest condolences to the family and pledged full support during this difficult time. Martin O'Neill's team carries a 3-0 advantage into the Raiffeisen Arena match. The winner advances to the lucrative Champions League group stage.

The atmosphere turned somber as the teams paid respects, blending competition with mourning.
