The funeral of former Celtic player Liam Miller will be held in Cork.

The ex-Ireland international, who came through the ranks at Celtic under Martin O'Neill, died aged 36 on Friday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

His funeral will be held at the Church of St. John the Baptist in his hometown at 11.30am on Monday followed by a burial in the adjoining cemetery.

Neil Lennon and fellow Cork Native Roy Keane will be among those paying respect at the funeral alongside Miller's wife Clare and their three children.

Former clubs Celtic, Manchester United, Hibernian, Sunderland, Leeds United and Cork City have all been expressing their condolences at the midfielder's death.

On their official Twitter account Celtic said: "Everyone at Celtic FC is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former midfielder Liam Miller.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
