UEFA have confirmed commemorative plans have been put in place to honour the Queen in this week's upcoming Champions League matches featuring UK sides.
Both Celtic and Rangers are in Champions League action this week with matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and Napoli respectively.
Celtic travel to Poland to play the Ukranian side in the second matchday of the competition with Rangers at Ibrox as Napoli jet in to Scotland.
And UEFA have now confirmed a set of commemorative plans are in place for UK clubs competing in Europe as a mark of respect to Queen Elizabeth after her passing last week.
All matches featuring UK sides will begin with a moment of silence and players could also wear black armbands to commemorate the life of the Queen.
There are further commemorative plans in place for UK teams playing at home in the Champions League this week.
These changes will only impact Rangers (and other UK clubs playing at home) with their match at Ibrox against Napoli.
For the match there will be no Champions League centre-circle, pitch banners or arch.
The Champions League anthem will not be played before the match and no pre-match sponsor activations or player mascots will be present.
These changes are in additions to the moment of silence and black armbands.
