Wearing green outside the club shop on Glasgow Argyle Shop, so presumably also green... candid, not posed, shot.
Celtic fans at Parkhead before the game. Another one at the back there that didn't want to be photographed.
I actually found lurking around this game completely terrifying and I had been warned beforehand not to say anything to anyone, or to start joking around. The atmosphere here is totally different to Upton Park. I did see this lot approaching and took a chance. I wasn't so lucky with the next lot that walked past me.

Traditionally Parks' LSK444 has been used as the team coach for Celtic FC (LSK555 is the Rangers FC vehicle). The carrier of this plate in 1997 was this B10M carrying a smart version of Parks livery. The medical cool box can be seen sitting on one of the tables.
Got in early for the Celtic v Juventus Champions League game. 4 vertical shots taken on the Nex-6, at 24mm (FF equivalent). Stitched together on panorama Maker.
August 2018. Holiday, again, in Scotland. As a huge fan of the Game and its culture around clubs and supporters, I had remarkably never visited that one big club in Scotland for which I have warm feelings, Celtic FC. Not that I have anything against their rivalry Rangers or any other club in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic is something special, just a bit more magical. If only because they lost the 1970 European Cup-1 final in Milan to my Feyenoord. Saw them much on television ofcourse and in real saw them play twice in Rotterdam against Feyenoord in pre-season friendlies.
Anyway, a gap in the holiday schedule, close to Glasgow……. on to Celtic!
The Celtic Football Club is a Scottish professional football club based in Glasgow, which plays in the Scottish Premiership. The club was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow. They played their first match in May 1888, a friendly match against Rangers which Celtic won 5–2. Celtic established themselves within Scottish football, winning six successive league titles during the first decade of the 20th century. The club enjoyed their greatest successes during the 1960s and 70s under Jock Stein when they won nine consecutive league titles and the 1967 European Cup. Celtic have played in green and white for the entirety of its history, adopting hoops in 1903, those being used ever since.
Celtic are one of only five clubs in the world (which also includes their rivals Rangers) to have won over 100 trophies in their history. The club has won the Scottish league championship 51 times, most recently in 2019–20, the Scottish Cup 39 times and the Scottish League Cup 19 times. The club's greatest season was 1966–67, when Celtic became the first British team to win the European Cup, also winning the Scottish league championship, the Scottish Cup, the League Cup and the Glasgow Cup. Celtic also reached the 1970 European Cup Final and the 2003 UEFA Cup Final, Successively lost from Feyenoord and FC Porto.
Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, and the clubs are known as the Old Firm, seen by some as the world's biggest football derby. The club's fanbase was estimated in 2003 as being around nine million worldwide, and there are more than 160 Celtic supporters clubs in over 20 countries. An estimated 80,000 fans travelled to Seville for the 2003 UEFA Cup Final, and their "extraordinarily loyal and sporting behaviour" in spite of defeat earned the club Fair Play awards from both UEFA and FIFA.
