ALBANIAN president Ilir Meta has never been shy of hiding his love for Celtic and ahead of today's match against Ferencvaros he made sure to get right in the spirit.
Ahead of kick-off Meta was spotted in the main stand at Celtic Park with his scarf hoisted in the air while singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Elected to the highest office in the Southeastern European republic in 2017, Mr Meta tweets regularly about his love for the Hoops.
In the past he has wished first-team stars his best wishes on their birthday and it is also understood that he signs his text messages with 'hail hail'.
Meta has revealed in the past that his love for Celtic began when their match with Partizani Tirana was shown on Albania TV in 1979.
Ahead of today's match at Parkhead Meta was pictured with Rudi Vata and his son.
