Picture this - Celtic fans in Barcelona hall of fame
Re-posted from May 07
Anyone who has toured the museum in Barcelona's Camp Nou should take some time to browse the magnificent collection of photographs evoking the spirit of football across the world. If you do so, don't miss the series of photos of some of our very own fans, entitled "The passion of the football fan".
These pictures come from a Spanish sports magazine and were taken during Barca's visit to Celtic Park in 2004 (the caption doesn't say which one).
But who are these fans - do you know? Are you pictured? Do the fans themselves realise they have been immortalised in one of the great sporting grounds of the world?
If you know anyone pictured, please send an email to theceltsarehere@gmail.com or leave a comment below.
Note: the exhibition really is worth seeing. You should find a Rangers picture there too - but a bit less flattering.

Lennoxtown mole strikes again with Barca info
Just days after Celtic data was released on the internet and published in tabloid newspapers the damage caused by the "Lennoxtown Mole" is becoming apparent.
Yesterday it was reported that Rangers striker Nacho Novo had offered Barcelona a tips including "try to annoy (the suspended) Scott Brown".
However, as revealed when Celtic were drawn against the Catalan giants, Novo's boss Walter Smith has offered Gordon Strachan his scouting reports - a noble gesture of good will. Now, though, a so-called Celtic supporter has leaked the contents of the reports, compiled by Rangers coach Ian Durrant on a spying mission several months ago. Given that these are now certain to be widely
circulated, withholding publication could not possibly mitigate the damage. They make interesting viewing:
