Celtic Share Brilliant Tribute to Father of World-Class Star

Lamine Yamal might be dazzling fans at the top end of European football, but it’s his dad who continues to catch the attention of Celtic fans online.

Mounir Nasraoui, father of the Barcelona winger, was spotted once again showing love for Celtic after an Instagram snap emerged this week of him out walking the dog wearing last season’s Hoops home kit. The image, shared by the account Hustle Hard 304, quickly made its way across social media—and was even picked up and shared by Celtic’s official Instagram story.

It’s not the first time Nasraoui has been seen backing the Bhoys. Back in October 2023, he went viral for being pictured in a full Celtic tracksuit, prompting fans to speculate about his support for the Hoops.

While his son Lamine continues to shine on the international stage with Spain and at club level with Barcelona, it’s clear Nasraoui’s heart has a soft spot for the green and white.

The continued appearances in Celtic gear might not mean a Camp Nou to Celtic Park transfer is on the cards, but it’s a brilliant connection that fans have enjoyed.

Seeing the father of one of world football’s brightest young stars linked to Celtic through his choice of clothing is an unexpected twist—one that’s been welcomed by the club’s social media team and fans.

And if a move to Celtic ever becomes a possibility for Yamal later in his career, his dad could have a big say in convincing him.
