CELTIC are holding a week-long series of events to promote racial tolerance among children in Glasgow.

Around 2500 school pupils will visit Celtic Park for the club's Integration Week, which features music, drama and dance performances.

The initiative, which began yesterday, is being run in partnership with Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Anti-Racist Alliance.

It's been arranged to coincide with tomorrow's UN Anti-Racism Day and aims to teach youngsters about people of different cultures who have moved to Glasgow, such as asylum seekers, refugees and economic migrants.

A Celtic spokesman said: "The campaign will allow the people and organisations in Glasgow to understand, support, promote and - most importantly - engage with the process of community integration."

The integration week is running alongside Celtic and Rangers' joint drive to tackle sectarianism.

Meanwhile, primary pupils from Glasgow's East End are staging an anti-sectarian play tonight.

The P6 kids from Swinton Primary will perform Breaking Down The Wall, which aims to teach youngsters about religious intolerance.

Gillian Kierans, acting headteacher at Swinton Primary, said: "The children have really enjoyed rehearsing for the performance and have understood the important message their teachers have taught them."

The play is at 7.15pm at Bannerman High School.
