Watching your club win a title is always memorable. One lucky fan in particular this week will remember it for very special reasons though.

Celtic may have won the Scottish Premier League as far back as mid-April, but yesterday’s 4-0 home win over rivals St Johnstone signed off their final home game in style.

The Scottish club, who claimed their 44th division title with ease last month, were finally able to parade their medals and the famous trophy at their Celtic Park ground after the game.

The biggest story was still to come however. Manager Neil Lennon, who has been linked with the soon-to-be-vacated manager’s job, cherished the title victory but handed his medal to a lucky young Celtic fan in the crowd.

Watch the video to see just how gobsmacked the little girl is. Brilliant!

Snoop Dogg wants to become Celtic mascot

Snoop Dogg (err, Snoop Lion) has long ago revealed his passion for Celtic football and earlier this season suggested that he would love to buy a stake in the club. And now, the Hip-Hop turned Reggae star has made it his goal to be a part of the action for Celtic’s Champions League clash against Juventus as, wait for it, a mascot!

‘It’s the one I need to go to, it’s the game we have been waiting for,’ Snoop said. ‘I need tickets but I want to walk out with the team like a little kid with the banner. Yes, yes, make it happen. Hail, hail the Celts are here. Yabbadabbado.’

When told he could find himself sitting next to Rod Stewart at next Tuesday’s match Snoop added: ‘Do ya think I’m sexy.’

Soccer world pays homage to Newtown victims

In times such as this past weekend when tragedy struck in Newtown, CT, soccer and sports in general take a backseat to reflecting on what’s truly important in our lives. And though the games still had to be played, there were several acts of class on display across Europe to send prayers and condolences to the victims and their families across the Atlantic.

From the QPR players insisting on wearing black armbands in their match versus Fulham, to an emotional moment of silence at Celtic Park, to Milan’s Antonio Nocerino’s goal dedication, take a look at some of the touching images over the weekend.

The moment of silence prior to Celtic’s match against St. Mirren.

Queens Park Rangers, Fulham, Liverpool and Aston Villa players all wore black armbands in tribute to the Sandy Hook victims.

Nocerino dedicated his goal to the children and their families, saying, “everything I did today was only for them.”

Snoop Dogg wants to buy stake in Celtic after famous Barca win

It’s well known that Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion, as he goes by now) is a huge sports nut, and soccer fans may recall seeing him in those recent FIFA ‘13 commercials. And following the trend of many hip hop artists investing in sports teams (Jay-Z first and foremost), it shouldn’t come to much surprise that Snoop would want to jump into the fray.

But his choice might startle some: it’s Celtic!

Here’s what Snoop said in a recent interview with UK paper Daily Record:
