Celtic ask their fans to shower because they smell really bad

There’s apparently a hygiene problem in the green and white section of Glasgow. Following numerous complaints, Celtic have been forced to send a letter to supporters reminding them to shower. There were so many smelly people at Celtic Park so often that complaints were piling up.

So, if you’re a Celtic fan going away to Ajax on Thursday, please remember to shower in your hotel beforehand.
