Celtic fans in Perth Western Australia brought their 30th anniversary celebrations to an end by enjoying a huddle in the middle of a road.

John Hartson, Dixie Deans, Murdo MacLeod and Willie Wallace joined the local fans as they relived the adventures of supporting Celtic thousands of miles from Glasgow.

In the late eighties when the Perth club was formed supporters had the Celtic View and the arrival of the occasional video tape to keep them in touch with events back home.

Setanta Sports quickly tapped into the market from ex-pat supporters to watch live action even if it meant unusual kick off times.

With an eight hour time difference most home matches are kicking off late at night with midweek games played early in the morning.

The internet, social media and Tom Rogic have improved communications greatly ensuring that the fans in Perth WA are as well informed as anyone with the goings on in Scottish football.
