Celtic Park has seen its fair share of drama over the years, but fans were treated to a truly bizarre moment during the match against St Mirren this afternoon when the entire stadium was suddenly plunged into darkness.

For a few surreal seconds, Paradise sat eerily silent, with gasps and murmurs from the crowd.

The chaos didn’t stop there. Reports flooded in that Celtic TV’s live stream had gone down, leaving fans at home staring at an ominous green screen. With Celtic running a pay-per-view option for the game, fans in the UK who don’t subscribe to Celtic TV paid £12.99 to watch the match and certainly won’t be happy.

Inside the stadium, the PA system was silenced, meaning even St Mirren’s substitutions couldn’t be announced.

VAR communications? Out the window. It was as if someone had accidentally tripped over the stadium’s master plug.

When the floodlights flickered back to life moments later, an ironic cheer erupted from the crowd, breaking the tension.

The fans’ good humour shone through, as it always does.

However, it raised questions about how something like this could happen in one of the most modern venues in the country.

While the incident didn’t derail the game itself, it left supporters scratching their heads, and perhaps searching for torches.

Was it a technical glitch, or had someone genuinely unplugged the wrong cable? Whatever the cause, it’s sure to be added to the long list of quirky Celtic Park moments fans will be talking about for years to come.
