Celtic fans ambush singer's post after sharing picture with Hoops legend

Celtic fans will take any opportunity to pay tribute to the great Danny McGrain.

The songwriter said: "Who's this shaking hands?"

And it didn't take long for the Parkhead faithful to arrive in their numbers to praise the Hoops legend.
