Celtic fans respond to Zenit ‘error’
Celtic fans have responded in good spirit to Zenit St Petersburg using the Boston Celtic logo to promote tomorrow’s Europa League tie.
The Zenit in English twitter account has provided good value and entertainment over the last fortnight as banter is exchanged between both clubs.
Last week’s match programme featured an older Zenit logo with the Russian side getting their revenge today.
With Celtic known as ‘the hoops’ it was hardly a surprise that they were ‘mixed up’ with the famous basketball club.
Ha Ha!..but let’s hope we slam dunk them!????????????

Celtic flew out to St Petersburg at lunchtime today, preferring to train at Celtic Park rather than experience the Krestovsky Stadium.
Brendan Rodgers is expected to name the same side that he fielded last week as the hoops attempt to win a place in the last 16 of the competition.
Around 500 Celtic fans are expected at the match with the heated stadium providing welcome respite from temperatures of -10 degrees.
