Celtic hero Scott Brown is set to receive a "proper goodbye" when he reunites with former team-mate Mikael Lustig for a live show at the OVO Hydro.
The two played together for the Hoops between 2011-2019, both prominent parts of the Parkhead side's Treble Treble run of success.
Lustig departed after for Belgian side Gent and Brown remained club captain for a further two seasons before playing his last match at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Due to the season being ravaged by coronavirus, the former Scotland international was unable to have a send-off in front of the fans.
He did return with Aberdeen last season and received a round of applause as he departed the pitch due to injury.

Celtic supporters will now get the chance to give the current Fleetwood Town boss what is being described by the club as a "proper goodbye".
Fans can see both men live at Glasgow's OVO on Thursday May 18 where proceeds from the night will be donated to the Celtic FC Foundation.
Tony Hamilton, chief executive of the Foundation said: “This is set to be an outstanding event, centred around two magnificent characters in our Club’s history in Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig – and I’m excited to see more special guests announced as we approach May 18.
“We are exceptionally grateful to Shaun Ennis, Scott and Mikael for this phenomenal gesture of support to Celtic FC Foundation and it will make a substantial impact on our work as we continue to challenge poverty and promote inclusion, against a cost of living crisis backdrop. Thanks also to every supporter who joins us on the night for what is sure to be a fantastic occasion that will live long in the memory.”
