Rod Stewart is leading the Celtic invasion of Rome.
Last night the entertainer was pictured with Johnny Mac as they settled in for Thursday’s Europa League tie against Lazio.
Celtic have been given an allocation of 9,000 tickets but could have half as many fans cheering them on in the Stadio Olympico for their first ever European tie in the Italian capital.
