Celtic fans remained defiant against the threat of terrorism as they adhered to strict security measures at Glasgow’s SSE Hydro last night.

Thousands of Hoops supporters embraced the new door policy at the city venue which was put in place after 22 people were killed as they left an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on Monday night.

A barrier surrounded the entrance to the venue displaying signs for bag checks. 

But the Celtic fans who were arriving at the show to celebrate the club’s historic achievement in 1967 were not put off by the measures. 

As reported by the Evening Times, security across all the SECC venues was being increased following the terror attack in Manchester.

Even contracted staff working to set up instruments and equipment ahead of performances bat the venues were told they would have to be searched. 

James Kerr, 75, from Rutherglen said: “Do we run scared because of this? We have got to come out and face this. It is up to the people in a position of authority to do something about this.”

He added: “I have supported Celtic for more than 70 years, nothing could stop me from coming to this gig.” 

Catherine Fisher, 50, from Bearsden, said: “What happened in Manchester did enter my head but sadly life goes on.

“You just have to get on with it. 

“I am thinking of all the people in Manchester but really I think this is the safest time to be anywhere.” 

George Smith, 79, from Renfrew, said: “I am sure a lot of people will be apprehensive but we can’t let it stop us. We have to get on with it. 

“I hope nothing will happen but you never know. I have no problems going in there and enjoying myself.”
