With the most easily recognised shirt in sport there is a popular game for Celtic fans to play at major sporting events.
At major golf tournaments in the USA you can often spot a set of green and white hoops, at the World Cup Finals they are a little more likely.
A trip to Qatar doesn’t seem like as much fun as visiting Leipzig or Madrid but one Celtic fan was watching Holland kick off their campaign in style with a 2-0 win over Senegal.
There is a large number of Celtic fans working in the gulf states, in Dubai there is a thriving Celtic supporters club that has a full programme of social events as well as offering live viewing of matches whatever the kick-off time.

Virgil van Dijk made his World Cup debut marshalling Louis van Gaal’s defence while Jeremie Frimpong had to sit the match out on the bench.
With a winning start and Ecudaor and Qatar to be faced next the Dutch are capable of going far into the tournament after missing out on the 2018 event in Russia.
Brilliant well done you ???
