Mikael Lustig led the singing- supported by John Guidetti- as Sweden prepares for Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against England.
FIFA’s official TV channel has a camera crew following every team in the competition with the Celtic defender perhaps worth a channel all to his own.

Lustig will miss Saturday’s match through suspension but will play a very active support role as the Swede’s attempt to repeat their 1994 achievement of reaching the semi-finals.
Despite accounting for Holland, Italy and Germany to reach this stage they have been virtually written off by the English media who are happy to claim that none of the Swede’s would get into the England team.
Lustig is unlikely to be back in action for Celtic this month- missing out on a potential Champions League clash with his former club Rosenborg.
Cristian Gamboa and Tom Rogic are expected back in the next ten days but neither will be involved in the first round qualifier against Alashkert.
