Celtic have vowed to take action against a group of fans filmed singing an offensive song about murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

The club said it was "appalled" by the video showing men in Celtic strips apparently celebrating the death of the 25-year-old.

Fusilier Rigby's mother said:

The video is thought to have been filmed in Sunderland where Celtic were playing a friendly on Saturday.More than 20 football fans were arrested after trouble broke out ahead of the match.

A statement from Celtic said:

The solider was murdered by Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale outside Woolwich Barracks in London in 2013.
