German Celt sneaks into title party for first-ever game, shares amazing Polaroid pic

To take in your first-ever Celtic game at Celtic Park is an experience unto itself – to do so on a day like Saturday's title party victory over St Mirren is a dream come true.

That's a sentiment shared by one Celtic fan who, living in Germany, made a promise to themselves earlier this season.

Brendan Rodgers' side ultimately finished the Scottish Premiership 2023/24 campaign eight points clear of rivals Rangers, but during earlier parts of the season, the gap between the two sides was less distinct.

It was during one of the latter moments that this Celtic fan promised to fly over to celebrate, should the green and white half of Glasgow triumph by the final day.

They did, of course. And, as posted on Reddit, the travelling supporter said: "I live in Germany currently and when the league was looking grim I promised myself I'd fly over to celebrate if we won.

"So I did just that, and didn't have a ticket but my friends were able to get me in. Probably the best experience of my life."

The Reddit user then shared this old-school looking Polaroid snap of Celtic Park in the throes of a title-winning celebration.

Celtic's attention now turns to Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final 2024, this Saturday, May 25 at 3pm at Hampden Park.
