CELTIC legend Lubo Moravcik has cancelled his appearance at the club's highly anticipated festival this weekend due to a family issue.

The 54-year-old, who played for the club from 1998 to 2002, will be replaced by another club legend Danny McGrain.

The Slovakian footballer stayed at the Parkhead club for four seasons winning to SPL Championships, one Scottish Cup and two Scottish League Cups. 

Celtic said on their official Twitter: "Unfortunately due to a family issue Lubo can no longer attend the Celtic FC Festival tomorrow (Friday). However, the Legend that is Danny McGrain is going to step into his place."

The event will take place today, tomorrow and Sunday at the Scottish Event Campus. 

Today the club is expected to launch its much-anticipated third kit.

Manager Neil Lennon and former players Tom Boyd, Jackie McNamara, Danny McGrain, Murdo Macleod and Tommy Johnson will be in attendance. 

Lennon opened the festival this morning by cutting the official ribbon. 

Fans will also get the chance to hop on the Treble Treble bus which they couldn't do earlier this year after the parade was cancelled due to safety concerns.
