Celtic fans invite Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to Cluj match after meeting on flight

Jeremy Corbyn made a surprise appearance at a Celtic match last night after meeting Hoops fans on a flight to Romania.

The Labour leader accepted an invite to Celtic's Champions League qualifier against Cluj from fans he met onboard a flight yesterday.

The 70-year-old politician posed for pictures with the fans alongside his wife Laura Alvarez last night.

He tweeted: "On a plane to Romania today I bumped into @CelticFC fans who invited me to join them watch their team play @CFR_1907_Cluj .

"So I did."

Arsenal supporter Corbyn was impressed with the Glasgow club's performance, tweeting: " @Oedouard22 impressed along with Celtic's discipline and determination.

"Great match and Celtic got a vital away goal to take into the second leg."

Celtic's bid to reach the playoffs of the Champions League remain on track after an encouraging 1-1 with the Romanian team.
