Glasgow Warriors’ Duncan Weir Reveals Hilarious Tale of Three Teammates’ Conversion to Celtic Fans
A humorous anecdote from Glasgow Warriors’ Duncan Weir has shed light on the unpredictable nature of football fandom. Weir shared on Superscoreboard how three of his Argentine teammates abandoned their brief allegiance to Rangers after attending a pivotal European match at Ibrox, instead becoming avid Celtic supporters.
The transformation began when Weir sneaked the trio into Rangers’ Europa League semi-final clash against RB Leipzig. Despite witnessing one of the most electric atmospheres in Rangers’ history, the Argentine players defected to Celtic’s camp after befriending Celtic’s Alejandro Bernabei.
Weir recounted: “So we’ve got three Argentine boys and a couple of years ago we managed to sneak them into the [Europa League] semi-final against RB Leipzig at Ibrox. Obviously, one of the best nights as a Rangers fan. And they were singing all these songs.”
However, the players’ loyalty shifted upon meeting Bernabei: “So he came to Glasgow. They’re all best mates with him all of a sudden and they’re going to his house for barbecues. And I’m like, ‘Boys, you can’t be jumping ship. You’re tied to Rangers.'”
Weir’s amusement was palpable as he described the unexpected turn of events: “And now they’re going and swinging to Celtic games every other weekend. It was funny.”
As Celtic prepares to face Hearts in the Scottish Premiership and Club Brugge in the Champions League, these three new fans will undoubtedly be cheering on the Bhoys.
