    Went to all the away games in europe for over 20 years , then my daughter was born the year before Seville , had seen celtic 5 times in Germany and we never scored , then sitting in comfort of my living room watch Sutton and Thomson score in first 10 mins in Stutggart , had a ticket for Liverpool had to give it away for family duties ( see I am normal ) did get to Blackburn and Seville though

    This is just being nasty. And there was me thinking about giving you my spare ticket for the cup game against Hearts on Saturday.

    Until you take your 10 year old daughter out of school so you can get to the pub in time for kick-off you're not a fan

    I support Celtic because it's the only form of blind tribalism I allow myself to get away with these days - and let's face it, shouting at the top of your voice in an effort to slightly influence some baby faced athlete, and giving the fingers to random strangers in an opposing crowd, is fun for some reason.

    You&#8217;re not a real fan unless you post your preferred starting XI and it contains two former players and you give someone a couple of wacky middle names.

    I named my daughter after a Celtic legend (wee Henrika) and I have Neil Lennon's face tattooed on my face.

    Don't go to many games though ... <ok>

    I don't think a single match ticket is value for money in the SPL.

    I will never commit to going to every home league game as I have other things to do, so a season ticket is out of the question.

    I have no need for Celtic merchandise so I don't buy any of it, official or fake.

    Whenever a big game comes around and I can go, I always manage to get a ticket, probably at the expense of some twat that goes to loads of games but disnae have any pals to help him out!

    I am the ultimate Celtic fan!

    I am Legend!

    Going to all home games

    Going to 95% of all away games

    Spending every spare dime on Celtic

    Not being a mason

    Then, and only then, can you call yourself a true Celtic fan and a full member of the Celtic family (and are allowed to comment on Celtic).

    Does hating Rangers more than you love Celtic make you a true Celtic fan?

    And being old enough to remember games vividly from the 1950s, yet having a 10 year old daughter, meaning you either are lying or are a dirty old **** <ok>

    I don't give a monkey's cuss whether people think i'm a fan or a supporter or whatever, I know what Celtic means to me and that's all that matters.

    We can all become higher ranking fans today by watch int youths on Eurosport, or does it not count if you aren't there in person?

    Never ever said I was at any game in 50's , started watching Celtic mid 70 's , came a dad at age 39 , don't like being called a liar by someone that dosn't even know me .I've been on a committee of a supporters bus for well over 32 years, when you get attached to a club like that it kind of forces you to go to games , even if you can't be bothered going .
