Several airlines have added extra flights to Glasgow Airport ahead of Celtic's Champions League clash.
The Hoops are set to take on German side FC Bayern Munich at Celtic Park in Glasgow's East End on Wednesday, February 12.
Ahead of the match, Glasgow Airport revealed they are preparing to welcome an 'influx of over 3,000' Bayern fans this week as they descend upon the city.
Meanwhile, the city's airport also said multiple airlines including Lufthansa and TUI responded to the huge surge in demand from supporters of the current leaders of the German Bundesliga by adding extra capacity and flights to Glasgow from the Bavarian capital.

Mark Beveridge, Managing Director Operations at Glasgow Airport, said: “Whenever the city’s football teams do well in Europe, we see a marked increase in travelling fans and this week is no different.
“Our airline partners saw a huge spike in demand for seats once the draw was confirmed and we are now looking forward to welcoming the thousands of Bayern fans who will travel through the airport over the coming days.
"We can then expect to see the Celtic fans travel in numbers for the away fixture next week.”
