Legend Henrik Larsson was in the stand alongside his ex assistant manager Murdo MacLeod.

And Rod Stewart - who is a regular Celtic Park goer - made time in between a rehearsal and live show in a DIFFERENT country to see his team.

Spanish football expert, author and TV presenter Guillem Balague was also in attendance to take in his first Celtic v Rangers experience.

But there's one other star who made it into the stadium to see Brendan Rodgers' men come out on top.

Still Game star Greg Hemphill was spotted in amongst the 60, 000 Hoops fans inside the stadium.

The actor who goes by the name Victor McDade in the show has previously revealed he had a Celtic season ticket, but ditched it as he felt the show was losing fans.

At the time, he said: "I'm a very, very casual Celtic supporter.

"My dad was a Partick Thistle supporter and I actually put some of his ashes behind the goal at  Firhill which was a real honour. He used to love Manchester United.

"I used to have a season ticket at Celtic many, many years ago and I didn't renew it because I only went to like two games and that was the Old Firm games. 

"So I'm an armchair fan, I always have been. But back in the Chewin' The Fat days we got invited here, there and everywhere.

"I remember we ended up meeting Martin O'Neill and Henrik Larsson. That was the year they had the t-shirts which had 'milk, lemonade, chocolate' which was a Chewin' The Fat reference. 

"I think Rangers fans were like, 'Those Chewin The Fat boys, they are all Celtic fans', do you know what I mean? So it took us a while to win them back!"
