A beloved Glasgow Celtic pub has shared a touching message after closing its city centre venue.
Gallagher's Bar on Howard Street shut its doors on January 25 after only two and a half years of serving punters.
In November 2024, Gallaghers announced that in February 2025 they will no longer be trading from the venue.
The watering hole said due to them taking on a 'short-term lease' for The Squirrel Bar on Stevenston Street, their landlord 'refused' to renew the venue's lease on Howard Street.

They revealed it was their 'intention' to have an additional pub to accommodate 'the custom' they were 'having to turn away each week' due to being at 'full capacity'.
However, the bar said it isn't 'the end' of Gallaghers.
Bosses of the drinking spot, popular with Hoops fans, said once The Squirrel in the East End is up and running they will be looking for a new Gallagher's venue in the city centre.
After closing its doors to the city centre pub last month, Gallagher's shared a picture of the venue with its signs missing.
They said: "When you remove the Gallgher's touch, there is nothing.
"Goodbye Howard Street, hello Stevenston Street.
"It's time to crank it up a few notches. Let's go, team."

Pubs touching message to customers after closure of venue (Image: Newsquest) After posting its goodbye message on Facebook, punters of the venue flocked to the comments of the post to share their devastation about the news.
One cried: "Will miss the pub. Great atmosphere and very friendly."
A second wrote: "Sad times. Loved it in there every time I was up from Liverpool."
Another chimed: "End of an era."
Meanwhile, a fourth person added: "Sadly missed."
Originally announcing the closure in December, the venue said: "We are deeply saddened to announce that as of February 18, 2025, Gallaghers Bar & Kitchen will no longer trade from the current premises at 72 Howard Street.
"Due to us taking on a short-term lease for The Squirrel Bar, our landlord has refused to renew our lease at Howard Street.
"Unfortunately, he has also announced our departure before we even had the chance to inform all of our staff members that they no longer have jobs from this date.
"We are severely gutted about this decision.
"We have worked so hard over the past two years and invested so much money, time and effort into the premises by renovating and building a brand within it that we are super proud of.
"The family & staff have worked tirelessly every single week providing the best environment for people to enjoy themselves.
"It was our intention to have an additional venue to accommodate the custom we are having to turn away each week due to being at full capacity but this was not meant to be sadly.
"This is not the end for the Gallaghers.
"Once The Squirrel is up and running all efforts will be put into finding a venue within the city centre where we will continue the Gallagher’s brand.
"We hope our customers continue to support us at Gallagher's until our exit date and then join us at The Squirrel Bar, 32 Stevenson Street."
