Meta has never hid his love for Celtic, often posting messages of support for the champions. He also recently wished Fraser Forster many happy returns and has enjoyed back and forths with Jeremie Frimpong in the past.
We told how Meta recently donned his club's jersey and posted a snap of himself in green and white hoops on his social media channels.
