Celtic fans up there with the best

A NEW poll has confirmed what’s been known for a long time – that Celtic supporters are amongst the best in football.

The poll saw Celtic take their place alongside some of the top English Premiership clubs as having the best away supporters in Britain.

This is something that has long been recognised in football, with both UEFA and FIFA having previously awarded their respective Fair Play Awards to the Celtic support for their conduct and behaviour in following the team throughout Europe.

A Celtic spokesperson said: “Our fans play an important part in any success we enjoy, home or away, and the manager and players have often referred to them as our 12th man.

“And with an important away Scottish Cup tie against Inverness Caley Thistle this weekend, we know that our supporters will give their backing to the team in the positive manner they always do, promoting the good name of Celtic.”
