Sorry, think we have something in our eye…
While Gabby Agbonlahor levelling a boyband member was the most popular video to emerge from Celtic Park yesterday, this video is much more impactful.
Capturing the moment when all the fans sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ for the Aston Villa and Celtic legend, it is hard to not to be punched in the gut with the emotion of the moment.
Petrov, who is currently in remission from acute leukaemia, did a lap of honour for the fans before being joined on the pitch by his wife and kids.
For former team-mates like Neil Lennon, fans and the man himself, it was a hugely emotional moment and it shows the depth of affection there is in the game for the Bulgarian.
