Fifa president Sepp Blatter has suggested that Celtic Park is fit to host the final of a major tournament.
Blatter was in Glasgow to present the club's fans with the Fifa Fair Play Award for 2003.
Celtic's fans received the award for their behaviour before and during last season's Uefa Cup final, when their side lost to Porto.
What better endorsement than that of Sepp Blatter
For half a second I thought you signed Nintendo from Pike Rovers..Quote:

We apparently blew the UEFA and FIFA delegates away. I watched the game back and the BBC commentator said he had never seen a support like it. I suppose how could he, what other club in the world has ever brought 80,000 fans on such a distance to a European final before?Quote:

Gotta say I've taken more abuse and heard more sectarian bile from Celtic fans than from fans of every LOI club put together. Usually for the heinous crime of wearing a blue and white shirt. Never mind that it clearly wasn't a Rangers shirt.. doesn't seem to matter.
Indeed. Especially 8 years agoQuote:

Actually I used to get it a lot too. Growing up playing football in big patriotic areas wearing a blue and white shirt was frowned upon and used to get absolute daggers of looks from people before they realised it wasn't a rangers shirt.Quote:
