Rod Stewart's pre-match antics before Celtic's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich went down a treat with the CBS Sports pundits, much to the annoyance of this football fanatic.
Stewart's drunken antics steal the show
The Scottish giants lost 2-1 at home, but that's not what everyone was talking about. Instead, it was the rock star's admission that he'd "had a couple" that stole the headlines.
CBS Sports studio in hysterics
When asked by former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel about his beloved Celtic, Stewart quipped: "Of course I think we can win, otherwise I wouldn't be here, Peter. Behave yourself." This had Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards in fits of laughter alongside presenter Kate Scott.
Stewart oblivious to 'Big Meeks' nickname
When Richards tried to ask Stewart about Schmeichel's son Kasper, who started in goal for Celtic, the 80-year-old seemed oblivious to the nickname 'Big Meeks'. This caused even more laughter in the studio.
Rod Stewart: A true football fan or just a drunk attention-seeker?
While some may find Stewart's antics amusing, it's frustrating for real football fans who want to focus on the game itself. The Champions League is the pinnacle of club football, and the last thing we need is a drunken celebrity stealing the limelight from the players on the pitch.
It's time for the pundits and fans alike to start taking the beautiful game more seriously and leave the banter and drunken behaviour for the pub. Let's focus on the football and leave the antics to the fools who don't appreciate the true beauty of the sport.
