Celtic's Jota forced to flee after being caught up in Orange Walk
The Portuguese star was posing for pics with Hoops fans outside Glasgow's five star Blythswood Hotel on Sunday afternoon. Celtic hero Jota was forced to flee after being caught up in an Orange Walk. The Portuguese star was posing for selfies with Hoops fans outside Glasgow's five star Blythswood Hotel on Sunday afternoon. But his pals yelled at him to run into a car as the procession closed in. One fan said: 'We were actually outside the hotel as we wanted to get glimpse of Tom Holland who was staying there during Spider-Man filming. 'Then all of a sudden Jota just strolled out. 'He was happily chatting to us and doing selfies. 'My friend asked if he'd seen Tom but he said he hadn't but had seen his fiancée Zendaya. 'The march was getting louder and closer so his pals were getting very flustered telling him that he had to go. 'He didn't seem too bothered though and kept doing pictures but the people he was with started shouting that he had to get away. 'They then ushered him into a vehicle which sped off.'

I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead
But her outfit of choice did cause some issues GREEN & WHITE WEDDING I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CELTIC-daft bride donned her wedding dress to a game at Parkhead as part of a dare by social media followers. Laura McGovern, 52, was set to tie the knot today but the marriage was called off before she walked down the aisle. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 4 Laura McGovern donned her wedding dress to the Celtic Game at Parkhead Credit: Kenny Ramsay 4 She told how she got a great reception from fans Credit: Kenny Ramsay 4 The mum didn't want to put her dress to waste after calling off the big day Credit: Kenny Ramsay Not wanting to put her £3,000 wedding dress to waste, she decided to wear it for a day at the match. The mum-of-five, who creates TikToks under the name Big Olly Ching Ching, said she was dared by followers to don the marital getup at the game. So she drove herself from her home in Glasgow's Castlemilk and was helped by a pal to get to the stadium for the Hoops clash against St Mirren. Laura told The Scottish Sun: 'I was supposed to get married a while back ago and we'd arranged a big wedding and everything. 'I bought the dress, the rings, the lot and I was with him but I ended up calling the wedding off. 'So I was left with the wedding dress and the venue and everything all paid for, that I paid for, mind you. And my TikTok followers dared me to wear my wedding dress today and make out that I was getting married.' After taking her seat in the Lisbon Lions stand she ended up with a spectacular reception from her fellow fans. She was constantly being asked for photos and laughs as she told fans she had left her man waiting at the altar. One bold Hoops fan even joked about marrying her on the spot. Laura added: 'It was absolutely amazing, people were running up, people were taking selfies with me, people were saying congratulations, people were laughing.

'I was saying I left him there because I wanted to come to the Celtic game. It was just, it was brilliant. 'I couldn't even get out of the stadium until people stopped taking photos of me. It was crazy, absolutely crazy. 'It was actually quite a lot. Somebody did say to me, oh that's a shame, I'll marry you just now.' But Laura ended up having to leave before she could see her team's 1-0 win because her dress had caused some issues. She said her wedding dress wasn't the best for sitting in the Sunday sun or going to the football. The heat became such an issue she had to leave at half time, but still reckons it was worth it. The mum said: 'A few times I nearly went flat on my face. It was very difficult and I was roasting, I was roasting hot sitting there watching the game. 'I had to leave at half-time. I wish I'd stayed, but I was just too warm. 'I was melting because it was a very, very heavy dress but it was worth it to do that. I enjoyed it. 'I drove my car in the wedding dress and then I walked it through the streets. 'It was actually crazy, I could barely see over the steering wheel. 'It took me about an hour and a half to get through a couple of streets to the actual stadium. And then I struggled to get away as well. 'I was just happy to get to a game. I've been a Celtic fan my whole life but as a single mum with five kids I can't afford to take them all.' But she says the whole thing was worth it to see her team play and come away with a good story to tell.
