Celtic Park

A superstar from The Walking Dead pictured at Celtic Park enjoying Champions League win

Celtic have a number of celebrity fans in their ranks as the global reach of the club attracts some of the most famous names in the world.

Rod Stewart, Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges and even Holywood megastar, Robert Duvall, are all confessed Celtic fans.

Even WWE stars Sami Zayn and CM Punk are massive fans of the club.

And it seems that after watching Celtic hammer Slovan Bratislava last night in the Champions League, the Parkhead club have another Holywood household name to add to their ranks.

The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln is a Celtic fan

In a way, this is very apt. The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln, who plays zombie slayer Rick Grimes, was pictured by Celtic fans joining in the Parkhead celebrations last night.

Nabbing a cheeky selfie, Lincoln can be seen with the backdrop of a packed Celtic Park as Brendan Rodgers prepared his team to slay the Slovakians last night.

In the series, Lincoln plays the role of Rick Grimes who was a sheriff who awoke from a coma in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies had overrun the Earth.

In the series, Grimes went on a search for his family after they became separated and took on the role of a zombie slayer.

The smash-hit TV series was very popular in it’s prime time slot on satellite TV so it is very fitting that in real life, Lincoln supports a club that has been slaying the zombies for over 12 years now.
