Rapid have confirmed they will wear the colour to commemorate the notorious 1984 European Cup-Winners' Cup tie between the sides, which saw the Hoops ordered to replay the second leg at a neutral ground.
Celtic had won the tie on aggregate but were punished by UEFA after a bottle was thrown from the Parkhead terracing and Rapid defender Rudolf Weinhofer pretended he had been struck by it.
There's only one thing to say about this, and with the above image, I think I'm sayin' it.Rapid Vienna. Austrians. Cheaters. Nazi-sympathizers.
The mighty Hoops, of course, are a model of racial forward thinking.
Gil Heron, known as the Black Arrow for his lightning fast runs, joined in 1951.
He scored on his first-team debut in a 2-0 win over Morton.
Heron, the father of legendary musician Gil Scott-Heron, was also a hit off the field.
Celtic FC. Scots-Irish. Champions. Epitome of tolerance.
