O'Halloran, who spent time in the youth ranks at Celtic, condedes it will be frustrating to miss out, but he will be at Hampden in the stands supporting the Gers.

Speaking at a press conference held this afternoon, O'Halloran said: "I will be there at the Celtic game supporting this team and my team-mates.
 


"It will be frustrating not to be involved", the winger added.

And O'Halloran concedes that the Old Firm clash has made for interesting times in his household.

"There is a wee bit of banter with my family.

"And I'm sure there will be in my house that day with my dad."
