I think it was 0-0 at half-time and he was involved in the film Ally McCoist was working on. He came out, waved and said something along the lines of wanting Kilmarnock to score and win in the second half which resulted in booing and chants of "Baldy, Baldy" from the Motherwell support. It was just all a bit odd and you were left thinking did he not have better things to do with his time. Ah yes, A Shot At Glory. About the closest thing you'll get to a Scottish version of The Room. That's a compliment tbh, the bit where Michael Keaton threatens to relocate the Kilnockie franchise to Ireland my personal highlight. Or maybe Ian McCall getting headbutted off McCoist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Rod Stewart, every time he rocks up at a big Celtic match in his limo, escorted straight through by club officials to his seat for life he was inexplicably given for cutting a bit of ribbon twenty odd fucking years ago. Doubt the c**t has ever bought so much as a burnt on the outside cold on the inside rank rotten pie at Celtic Park yet feels he has the right to criticise regular supporters who go all over Scotland and Europe spending most of their disposable income on supporting the team. He can f**k off, the gravely voiced, wrinkly faced, pish stained Tory fucking c**t. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, of course, Billy Connolly was always a huge Celtic fan. It's almost like none of them give a shit about football, but know a nice wee photo opportunity when it presents itself. Like most OF fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember singing Mike Read, Mike Read, 275 & 285 at them so might be getting this confused. https://peel.fandom.com/wiki/Meadowbank_Thistle Entirely because a group of extremely droll supporters invited me to join them for a match and subsequently took me to Hampden Park where 300 benighted souls - and that 300 includes the Queens Park enthusiasts - huddled together on the open terraces across which snow stormed and the wind shrieked in a manner that would have had Amundsen sucking his teeth apprehensively. "Give us an F," they roared. "Give us an I, give us an S, give us a U, give us an L," they continued. "What does that spell?" they wanted to know. "Fisul!" they concluded. How could I have doubted, even for a moment, but I stood and suffered with the very cream of mankind?

After being granted permission and while sat knocking out type 7 on the Bristol stool chart, someone shoved some of his LP's and a pen under the bathroom door and asked 'do you think you could autograph these for me?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wakeman was on the board at Brentford at some point, and he definitely used to attend Meadowbank Thistle games - his Mrs had dropped a bairn at Elsie Inglis hospital, and they lived in East Lothian for a while. That guy has made and lost more money than I can dream about, and he's aye good for a story - most of them revolve around bowel movements, tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Now that this thread has basically descended into celebrities who have been at your ground, I remember seeing Tim Booth from James outside the main stand at Rugby Park before we played Celtic. He was doing a gig in Glasgow that night and is good friends with Gordon Strachan, who was their manager at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
