Lewis Capaldi was spotted wearing a Celtic top on the streets of New York this week as he made his way to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Capaldi’s choice of shirt wasn’t missed by Celtic supporters back home. While thousands of miles from Glasgow, the singer made sure his club was front and centre. No press conference or social media post, just a public show of backing for the team he grew up watching.
But the Celtic shirt said as much as any quote. Capaldi could have worn anything for a prime-time appearance. Instead, he picked the green and white hoops. It was a nod to home, to Paradise, and to the support that’s followed him from local gigs to world tours.
Moments like this remind us how far Celtic’s name travels. Capaldi’s voice might be what gets him on these stages, but the shirt he wears tells its own story. A Glasgow boy making it big but keeping his roots front and centre.
No fuss. No need to say anything. Just the top, the telly, and a quiet nod to Celtic, even in the middle of Manhattan.
