Celtic fan spots Thai street vendor wearing Hoops jersey 5,800 miles from Parkhead

A Celtic fan was left stunned after meeting a street vendor wearing a Hoops jersey - 5,800 miles away in Thailand.

Marc was walking down a street in the city of Pattaya, in Thailand, when he spotted the man, who was working at a food stall outside a 7/11 store, dressed in the Glasgow club's iconic green and white top.

In disbelief, Marc shared a picture of the Thai national to his twitter account, @marcbhoyz, with the caption: "Can’t believe it.

"Pattaya street food vendor , outside a 7/11 sporting the famous Glasgow Celtic."

However, this isn't the first time he has bumped into a fellow supporter during his travels in Asia, Glasgow Live reports.

Yesterday he tweeted: "Just seen a motorbike taxi driver in the backstreets of Pattaya wearing a Celtic jersey . He wouldn’t let me take a picture of him."

And while in Thailand's capital Bangkok earlier this week, he shared a snap of another person wearing the reigning champion's shirt.

He wrote: "Anywhere you go in this planet you’ll see someone with a Hoops top on, China town, Bangkok."
