    Do some people support Celtic for religious reasons? or maybe it's just purely football? I personally support Celtic for the football as i'm not a religous man. or maybe for some it's a bit of both? There may some out there who support Celtic because they like a scrap before or after the game?

    Football reasons - my whole family are Celtic fans, all my grandparents, uncles etc. Jimmy McGrory was my Great-Granda's cousin and pretty much everyone on both my Mum and Dad's side are Celtic fans, i suppose due to them all being Irish immigrants.

    Because of my dad. Just who I was brought up supporting. Kenny dalglish was my dads hero, hence why Liverpool are my English team

    Born into it - or forced i should say lol

    Older brothers both mad Celtic fans and quickly realised my mood was dictated when celtic won or lost - based on their mood.

    My dads a rangers fan, wanted to make me one too, but from day one when i knew what football was all about, it was clear to me that there was a good side and bad side, a dark side and bright side, rangers never had a chance when it came to this wee guy, 22 now, through the good and bad times with celtic, still a proud supporter and thatll go straight to the grave :shamrock:

    I support celtic because my dad did, mum supported rangers. I live in a protestant area so everyone supported Rangers ( Not because they were protestants but im sure you can work out why ). Now i get a season ticket every year with my dad and never regret it ( yes even last year ).
