'Forever in green jeans' Watch former Celtic star Alan Thompson in hilarious Neil Diamond tribute

A former Celtic star has channelled his inner Neil Diamond in an hilarious social media video.

Alan Thompson, who played midfield for the Hoops between 2000 and 2007, uses a sweeping brush as his microphone and performs rock star moves as he sings along to Forever in Blue Jeans

He dances around his living room as he is cheered by others while a large picture of Diamond is projected behind.

And others also congratulated Thompson on his musical performance.

Another added: "Brilliant Tommo and a great choice of song. Tune"
