Celtic will have a special guest at the game on Tuesday afternoon after it was confirmed the President of Albania Iler Meta has made the trip to Glasgow for the game.
The politician posts about Celtic regularly and really sparked his love of the club after a chance meeting with Celtic fans a few years back.
Iler has been friends with former Celtic player Rudi Vata for a long time and it was Rudi who gifted Iler his first Celtic shirt.
The pair have been picture in Glasgow on Monday evening. A post by Rudi’s wife shows Iler enjoying Glasgow with Rudi and current Celtic youngster Rocco Vata.

Celtic take on Ferencvaros in the Europa League in an unusual situation. Glasgow is hosting Cop 26 and as a result our game was moved from Thursday evening to Tuesday afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou is looking to make it three wins on the bounce. We wonder if Iler will get the green carpet treatment at the game by the club – it if he’ll at least get to draw the Paradise windfall.
