Paolo Nutini in X rated Celtic roar of support as Scots singer leaves Irish bar in no doubt

Paolo Nutini showed his love for Celtic in an X-rated roar of support during a visit to an Irish boozer.

The Paisley born singer-songwriter, adored by many for his popular hits like Candy and Last Request, was enjoying some down time in the pub and as he was leaving through a passage way from the bar area he couldn't resist shouting out Brendan Rodgers' men. The Hoops are currently preparing to jet off to the USA for three glamour friendlies against DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea before they get their Scottish Premiership title defence up and running in early August at home to Kilmarnock on flag day.

The champions have already played twice in pre-season with a draw at Scott Brown's Ayr Untied plus a thrilling 6-4 win over Scottish Championship outfit Queen's Park during the week at the City Ground - more commonly known as Lesser Hampden. Nutini was given a send-off at the bar in a video shared on TikTok with the punters shouting 'Bye Paolo' as he made his way through a small archway with his drinks. Ever the showman, Nutini poked his head back through the passageway and shouted "Mon the f***ing Hoops."

It's set to be another big season for the Parkhead side as they look compete with Europe's elite in the newly revamped Champions League. They also won a league and cup double last season with the supporters and players looking for a clean sweep once again. From a fans point of view they are desperate to see some transfer activity with Adam Idah and Paulo Bernardo both wanted back permanently after successful loan periods. The Hoops are also closing in on Joe Hart's successor with Kasper Schmeichel in 'negotiations'.
