Celtic tease their Christmas advert starring Neil Lennon in a tux and Bauer the elf

The wait is almost over for Celtic fans as the highly-anticipated Christmas advert is on its way.

The club teased a few pictures from the filming of the commercial - and fans are already going wild for it.

The pictures show Neil Lennon in a tux holding a clapperboard, Jullien and Ajer in matching Christmas jumpers and Bauer as a possible elf.

However, mystery surrounds what the theme of this year's advert will be.

Last year it was Kieran Tierney as Tiny Tim, in 2017 it was Brendan Rodgers as the bus driver, and 2016 saw the now legendary Griff the elf.

Releasing the first pictures on Twitter , the club said: "Stars of the BIG stage in more ways than one..."

And in the bottom corner of the images is the saying 'star of Lisbon, star so bright, star of Glasgow's green and white'. So a Hollywood theme with Celtic's name written in the stars could be an idea?

The Hoops' festive offerings have become as much a part of the Christmas build-up as any of the big supermarket adverts in recent years - for Celtic fans anyway.

Commenting on the post, fans are already 'buzzing' with the advert tease.

One fan said: "Best 24 hours ever" and another added: "Can't wait but Griffiths better be our elf".

It has been an exciting 24 hours for the club and fans after beating Lazio with a last minute away goal in Rome to enter Europa League last 32.
