I once saw the Wolfe Tones at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. The opeing acts were largely football-chanted over, for sure. But it was a different scene when the headliners took the stage - singing along, rather than singing over. So, maybe show up after the opening act if Celtics chants aren't your cup of tea...

There's a little game on Saturday I know I'll be watching. And song-wise I know what it'll be like in the pub...

"Hail, Hail...!"

i would nnt harm me but i dont like celtic I like the pogues think i would prefer to hear their songs than some football songs i hear to much

If it makes you feel better, I suspect the Pogues have much bigger speakers and amplifiers than the audience. I also suspect that the Pogues' ~90 minutes of performance will be much more than X minutes of audience Celtics Sing-Along.

Having been to the concerts in Glasgow, I can tell you that it's a unique experience. The crowd is full of Celtics fans, yes. And if the band demurs the slightest in getting on with the setlist, the crowd will fill in spontaneously. That's part of the atmosphere. Great crowd, no violence. Nothing to worry about here.

I stand by my initial point; not everyone on the earth supports Celtic Football Club.

If for some reason he has been fed duff information that a Pogues gig turns into some Celtic love in, then he's quite right to be worried. Why on earth would you want to go and see a band and spend the evening mixed in with people singing Football songs about a team you've no links to?

It wont harm him in any way, shape or form but id say he's right to be worried that it might spoil his evening.

It's got nothing to do with him not being a Celtic fan. It's to do with him being "worried" that people might sing "celtic football songs", as if it would harm him in any way.

He's hardly a numpty; as strange as it may seem to you, not everyone on the planet is a Celtic FC fan.
