Tony Roper
Very popular actor & comedian in Scotland over very long period, and has been a common voiceover on Celtic media. In 2024, he even starred in an incredibly well produced Celtic Xmas video. Also very popular from the Rab C Nesbitt series but also the original Only an Excuse series (which really turned rotten after he left).
Dominic Diamond
Popular TV presenter from the 1990s who used to host the a very popular computer games TV show.
A mad Celtic fan who has created enough trouble for himself on air slagging off the huns (or the spawn of Satan as he once described them as). A good laugh though. He wrote a book about supporting Celtic:

Canadian-born actor Jay Baruchel has swapped Hollywood for Parkhead, with a major new film all about football giants Celtic. The Montreal-based actor became a massive fan of the Scots champions while playing Championship Manager and idolised star player Henrik Larsson, remaining a major fan ever since. Earlier this year, he teamed up with sports presenter Eoin O’Callaghan to make a documentary all about Jay’s love for the club and followed him on a journey from Canada to his ancestral home in Ireland, and finally to Glasgow for his first match at Celtic Park.
