It's Harris. Another case with Rod Stewart. The British singer who is of Scottish descent is a big fan of Glasgow Celtic. The singer of the song Iâ ?? m sailing not just like Celtic, Stewart also has some shares in the team.
When the Celtics beat Barcelona in the Champions League group phase in 2012, Stewart who was present at the stadium looked tearful as a move.
