A memorial plaque for Jock Stein will be relocated from Cardiff to Celtic Park in the near future, BBC Sport has reported.
The memorial had been situated at Cardiff City's former home Ninian Park, where the manager died at the age of 63 following a 1985 World Cup qualifier between Wales and Scotland.
However, it has been decided that the plaque should be relocated to the club he is perhaps most famous for managing, in light of the Welsh stadium being demolished.
Stein played for Celtic for five years and managed them for 15. As the boss, he won nine successive Scottish League championships and the 1967 European Cup - making Celtic the first British side to ever claim the trophy.
A special tribute was paid to the football legend when Wales played Scotland in Cardiff last year, with visiting fans laying wreaths ahead of the match outside the Cardiff City Stadium.
