The atmosphere in side Celtic Park on Saturday was sizzling. Apparently a 12.30 kick off really kills the atmosphere but not when Ange Postecoglou’s are turning on the style in a Glasgow derby.
In England football is rife with tourist fans buying half-n-half scarves and apparetly videoing every moment.
As an EPL star approaches to take a throw in or corner they are met by pointed phones, capturing that special moment. When a goal is scored it tends to generae a rush for the Iphone/Sony/Samsung

The joy is unscheduled, no one was anticipating the goal, within 10 seconds of being awarded a free kick in their own half the Celtic players were mobbing Jota, to celebrate an incredible finishing roared in by 59,000 home fans.
Tomorrow against Real Madrid the phones will be out in force. Pre-match they will capture the return of Zodac the Priest, You’ll Never Walk Alone will be on multiple panoramic video clips but when the action gets under way fans will be anticipating excitement and goals, without the need to click RECORD and share in look-at-me videos.
