Meeting the Bhoys and Ghirls- The President in Paradise (video)
It was a scene that only Celtic could create.
A European President, fairly casually dressed attending a Celtic match, stopping for pictures in his hoops and scarves and being greeted with a few ‘Hail Hails’ and the odd ‘awe right mate’ as he met total strangers.
Celtic does strange things to people, even politicians that had been largely unaware of the club for most of their life get effected by it.
Experiencing the extraordinary emotions that only Paradise can offer. I have beeing looking for so long to meet the most wonderful and extraordinary fans ever. We are the Celtic family. #CelticFC? #CELFER #UEL #COYBIG ? pic.twitter.com/cz4qFnnBX9

Iler Meta’s introduction to Celtic in Sarajevo is fairly well documented, after meeting a small band of fans in Sarajevo he was mixing with over 50,000 supporters sharing the joy and excitement of a European match.
The President could have been any fan of a certain age as he made his way towards the stadium, security around him was light as he went on the sort of walkabout that very few Scottish based politicians would be prepared to take part in.
