ha ha ha my cousin from Boston is threatening to STAY in Scotland and not go back home on Tuesday, he was blown away by the atmosphere at Celtic Park last night, as he put it to me, it brought back to him memories of European nights in the old Jungle over 30-35 tears ago, he was very nostalgic. He LOVED the Green Brigade's songs, again it took him back to the "Jungle Bhoys Choir" all those years ago.
We arrived early to avoid rushing and to let him soak up the special European night atmosphere under the floodlights and after the game I could not move him from the Celtic Way all lit up with green and white lights, he just took pictures all night long to take back to Boston.
He told me he has a Celtic TV subscription back in Boston and also watches some games in his local Irish pub, but he said nothing compared to actually being at the stadium and soaking up the very special Celtic Park atmosphere.
It has been 25 years since he last visited Scotland, but he is already talking of coming back NEXT YEAR hail hail.

Glad he enjoyed it Tim it was a special nite once again. And once again I kicked the arse out it, never got in till 2 this morning absolutely knackered the now. Still it was well worth it, so many positives and we weren't even on top form. Glad sinky got a couple of goals under his belt, he works his socks off even if he doesn't score. Griffiths was class again, can't see him giving up his place easily. Ntcham is going to be something else, him and broony dictated that game from the middle, forrest was great, what a finish. Bitton strolled it wae jozo. Green brigade were superb as we're the rest of the support, still buzzin. What a time to be alive, our kids are going to be spoilt watching this team, thing is a don't think they'll appreciate it the way I do, growing up watching celtic in the 90's wasn't exactly how it should've been in we were on a level playing field but it sure makes this all the more enjoyable.

I feel the same I was brought up on the tales of the lions and quality street kids, only to endure torid 90s. Nothing beats a bit of defiance to hone your support!
