Hooper Heroes (The Scottish Sun - Saturday 12th April 2008)


The Scottish Sun had a story that was right up my street on Saturday - it was about Glasgow's own Celtic Football Club playing a part in two of the USA's biggest TV shows.

In Heroes, a storyline sees character Peter Petrelli being blackmailed by a "gang of Irish crooks who are plotting a raid on a bookies". The game at the centre of the plot is a 2007 Champions League clash between Celtic and AC Milan.


The newspaper article also refers to a Lost episode in which Scottish character Desmond Hume sings "For It's A Grand Old Team To Play For", and when in a flashback sequence his fiancee says "The closest you've come to a religious experience was when Celtic won the cup".
