Before Celtic’s 3-1 win in Sarajevo Ilir Meta got into the party mood with these Celtic fans and the sing song they enjoyed together included one song in favour of Celtic’s favourite son of Albania, Rudi Vata.

The President of Albania even posted a video of the bold Rudi smashing in a free kick against the old Rangers.
