John McMonagle gets a selfie with Lewis Capaldi
Leitirmacaward native John McMonagle was celebrating Celtic’s huge Glasgow Derby win over Rangers when he bumped into singing superstar Lewis Capaldi outside Celtic Park.
McMonagle was part of the Association of Donegal Celtic Supporters Clubs that sent three bus loads over to the clash on Saturday. And as the life-long hoops supporter was leaving the stadium, he met the 'Someone You Loved' hit-maker.
Capaldi is also a huge Bhoys fan and was no doubt also in fine form thanks to the 2-1 win.
Brendan Rodgers’ side reasserted their authority at the top of the Scottish Premiership by ending their city rivals’ 16-game unbeaten run under manager Philippe Clement in a gripping clash.
Paulo Bernardo smashed in a half volley before the break to give Brendan Rodgers' side the lead at a boisterous Celtic Park full only of home fans, as a frenetic first half flew by.
Kyogo Furuhashi whipped in another beauty two minutes after the break to double the lead and continue his hot streak against Rangers, having now scored seven goals in 11 derbies.
Rangers played out the last 30 minutes with 10 men after Leon Balogun was dismissed for hauling down Daizen Maeda as he burst towards goal.
However, captain James Tavernier set up a tense finish with a sensational free-kick into the top corner on 88 minutes.
Eleven minutes of frantic injury time ensued but Celtic held on to move eight points clear at the summit, although Rangers do have two games in hand with one round of games left before the winter break.
