Celtic majority shareholder, Dermot Desmond, was pictured at the Shamrock Bar in Turin with Celtic fans last night ahead of the Champions League last 16 second leg tie against Juventus. Desmond, who is one of Ireland's richest men, was reported by many Celtic fans on Twitter to have been handing out €50 notes in the bar so fans could buy drinks.
That's certainly one way to endear yourself to the fans.
