Glasgow’s Green and White, By The Way- Lewis Capaldi tells Italian TV show

Lewis Capaldi left Italian TV viewers in no doubt about his football allegiances.

A generation or two ago Scottish celebrities would play it safe by claiming to be a Partick Thistle supporter or a fan of Clyde if the conversation strayed towards football. Alienating half of your potential audience wasn’t a wise career move.

Recently things have changed, the old ways are long gone with celebrities from Billy Connolly and Rod Stewart through to Kevin Bridges happy to put their colours on show.

Supporting Celtic is a positive career move with Lewis Capaldi enjoying life growing up in an era of virtual total domination for his favourite football team.

The 23-year-old from Bathgate has met up with many Celtic players past and present at his concerts, being a Celtic fan in Italy won’t do his career any harm with football the biggest passion in the nation.
