Social media has created the brilliance of the Fan-cam. At Hampden one of them worked exceptionally.

Live streaming leaves the user open to all sorts of issues but the need for attention is clear.

Wee Steely has been amusing Celtic fans for years with his content. Pre-match he is full of bravado and battle fever, afterwards he is reminded of the loser that he is.

Never mind there is plenty more to come from him. Three of the next four SPFL Glasgow Derbies are at Celtic Park. A creators dream.

Tucked down near the corner flag one ‘bear’ dutifully recorded the action, well over two hours as Celtic celebrated booking their place in the final.

St Mirren fans will take up about 10,000 tickets for Hampden. Around 40,000 Celtic fans will be back watching Scotland’s most successful club going for more glory.

THE CELTIC SUPPORT

From the corner the bear, or undercover Celtic fan, had a great view on Johnny Kenny’s opening goal.

The camera did miss Kenny’s great celebrations but after each Celtic goal the camera switched to capture the celebrations at the other end of the stadium.

There is a special magic about these moments. In an instant there is despair all around while joy flows 50 yards away.

Look at the celebrations for Callum McGregor’s goal. Striking the ball in from 25 yards he turned to be greeted by the roars and celebrations of 25,000 Celtic fans.

Priceless. McGregor has been at the heart of five trebles in a generation of domination. He wants the next trophy badly. He was outstanding at Hampden.

Despite the best efforts of Nick Walsh, Steven McLean and Andrew Dallas Celtic succeeded.

The delight of the Celtic support was matched by the despair of the loyal bears with around 800 staying to the final whistle to salute the gallant losers.

Joe McHugh has edited Video Celts since 2010, every day covering events in and around Scotland's most successful club.

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.

Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement.

There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same. More than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying the ongoing successes of Celtic.

    What a wonderful way to finish the Halloween weekend. Thank you Martin O’Neil, players and coaching staff for a hard fought, thrilling victory. Millions of Celtic fans worldwide are going about their business today with an extra spring in their step thanks to you.

    Keep Martin O’Neil on board with Shaun Maloney and maybe Celtic could have a ‘Joe Mercer — Malcolm Allison’ type managerial duo going forward. I watched the match in Murrays Bar in Dublin in great company. Two guys from Glasgow, who missed extra time as they had to catch a flight home; a young American guy from New York, studying here in Trinity College and two guys from Co. Wicklow. What other club has such a diverse fan base.

    I looked online this morning at the Daily Retard’s take on the match. Were they at the same match I watched? I did think that Trusty’s tap on the keeper’s head was opportunistic but then again who cares. They have pulled worse stunts than that against Celtic players over the decades. Have a great week.

    Nothing sweeter than the last few minutes when the game is won and the celtic support singing go home ya huns as they stream out. 40 years ago I first experienced that and it is still as sweet now.

  • Clachnacuddin and the Hoops says:

    Go Home ya Huns – Go Home ya Huns – Go Home ya Huns Go Home…

    Go Home ya Huns – Go Home ya Huns – Goooo Home ya Huns – Go Home…

    And don’t come fuckin back either !
