Albanian president wears Celtic top while running round beach shouting ‘Hail Hail'

The president of Albania has filmed himself running round a beach in a Celtic top shouting "Hail Hail".

Ilir Meta, the most powerful person in a country with a population of nearly three million, uploaded a video to popular social media site 'Twitter' which was accompanied by the caption: "26 km before the sunset. TEN-IN-A-ROW. It's not easy, but WE CAN! Hail Hail!"

The commander-in-chief of the country's military also added the hashtag "#CelticFC" as well as a green heart emoji and two shamrock emojis.

"It's not bad to have done 26 kilometres before the sunset" said the head of state in his video, adding: "Even more, for winning ten-in-a-row, but we can...HAIL HAIL."

The man with the power to grant presidential pardons ended the video by raising a Celtic scarf above his head.

Dozens of supportive messages were left by fans of the Scottish Premiership club, but @TheBhoyWray urged the eighth president of Albania to "Lose the blue shorts mucka".
