    We went up yesterday and went up as reds, they have shown respect and helped us back after the disaster in 89, the conection between our two clubs is fantastic, made a lot of friends for life up there, and they even left free beers behind the bar last night, anyway we all wore red and stood out in those green and white hoops everywhere, the Torres song as well as loads of other songs were sung in the Bars later and our banners got a mention on bbc and all the Celtic sites.

    Some very sad stories there of young guys dying before their time. Poor wives and kids left behind, very sad indeed.

    Fair play to ya Murph for returning the favour to Celtic, very nice gesture. Some great pics!
