The Bhoys: Mod Rod and Rocket Man As Glasgow Celtic tries to fend off a challenge from Hibernian (and Aberdeen) at the top of the Premier League, it will be a long, long time before the euphoria fades in Scotland from Wednesday's win over visiting Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. The club celebrated its 125th anniversary last week in grand style and the club's fans -- some famous, most not -- have been jumping through hoops (sorry) since the final whistle in the 2-1 victory against one of the world's best, if not the best club team. The face of the pop star Rod Stewart, a former lower-league player (supposedly) and long-time fan of Celtic (and Manchester United) was splashed all over the British news media as he broke down in tears after the victory. Then on Friday, Celtic Manager Neil Lennon said another famous fan had chimed in. "I had a lot of texts from people in the game which was fantastic but I got a call yesterday from left field from Sir Elton John, believe it or not, congratulating me," Lennon told the Associated Press. I thought my missus was winding me up but it just shows you the interest it has generated among a lot of people. John, 65, has long had an association with soccer, serving as the chairman of Watford in the 1970s and '80s. "I don't think he was as emotional as Rod but he did tell me when he was chairman of Watford and they got to the 1984 F.A. Cup final he was so emotional that he did cry before the game," Lennon said. He was very knowledgeable about the game and knew a lot about myself and it was great that he took time out to call me, as he is going to Australia on tour. Stewart's father, a Hibernian supporter, passed along his love of the game to his son. Stewart incorporated his feelings for Celtic in lyrics to "You're in My Heart." Stewart and his band also posed for a photo in front of a goal that appeared on the inside cover of the vinyl album "Never a Dull Moment." Below is video of Stewart's reaction as the game ended. Here is a slide show of some famous soccer fans. Did they miss anyone?
