Rod Stewart paid tribute to the Lisbon Lions in May but yesterday a different type of Lion was om his mind.
The more fashionable among my readership may be able to help out but surely yesterday’s jumper was part of a bet?
A generation ago a Christmas jumper was a dodgy number that you got from a relative for a present before the idea was hijacked to bring in Santa Claus, Rudolph and all-sorts onto some garish knitwear.
Sitting in the Directors Box at yesterday’s match it would be hard for the cameras to miss the singer who kept the cold at bay with his magnificent jumper.
The year 2017 saw Stewart feature strongly off the park in Scottish football, taking centre stage when the Scottish Cup draw was made after the Albion Rovers v Celtic match as well as being the headline act at The Hydro when the 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions was celebrated.
