A VIDEO has emerged of Celtic fans singing a vile song celebrating the murder of British army drummer Lee Rigby.

It is believed the video was recorded on Saturday before the 'friendly' match at Sunderland's Stadium of Light that was marred by street brawls, pro-IRA singing and smoke bombs.

Police say 21 people were arrested after running street battles between yobs outside a Sunderland newsagents where former EDL leader Tommy Robinson was doing a book signing.

One Celtic fan was taken to hospital with a head injury as Hoops supporters clashed with locals after smashing windows and throwing a lit flare into the premises - whose CCTV footage cops are now examining.

Inside the stadium, Hoops fans set off a huge smoke bomb as hundreds chanted a pro-IRA song.

Just days earlier, Celtic were hit with a £20,500 fine from Uefa over a pro-IRA banner waved by ‘ultras’ group, the Green Brigade.

Fusilier Lee Rigby, 25, was a drummer killed by terrorists Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale in 2013.

Lee was returning to Woolwich barracks in a Help 4 Heroes hoodie when he was mowed down.

The killers then jumped out of the vehicle and began stabbing and hacking at Lee’s body with knives and a meat cleaver in an assault so fierce they almost decapitated him.

The pair were both shot and injured after filming a rant about his murder.

In December 2013, both men were found guilty of murdering Lee Rigby.
