Video: ‘I never pretended to be a Scotsman’ – Sir Rod Stewart hits back at those criticising his allegiance to Celtic
Sir Rod Stewart has always been almost as well known for his football leanings as his musical talents, and it’s fair to say that many aren’t too impressed with his support of Celtic Football Club and the Scottish national team.
Born in England, there’s always been question marks as to why he doesn’t follow the Three Lions and support a team local to where he grew up.
Talking to Jim White and Simon Jordan on talkSPORT, Sir Rod attempted to clear up the controversy.
??????? “I am English, I have never pretended to be a Scotsman.”
??????? “My Dad was from Leith and was a Hibs fan & that rubbed off on me.”
? “I met Jock Stein & since that day I was a Celtic fan, I was so enamoured.”@RodStewart explains why he supports Scotland & #CelticFC! pic.twitter.com/K2sTWOqxQZ
