For football-loving viewers of The Chase, there's always a tinge of excitement when a question about the sport comes on the popular quiz show.
Previously, there's been a baffling question about a direct free-kick, while one contestant has been asked which England footballer is nicknamed 'Slabhead', Harry Maguire being the answer to that one, for those out of the loop.
The most recent example involved Celtic and the answer given to the question has riled and amused fans of the club in equal measure. During the final chase, when coming up against 'The Beast' Mark Labett, the team of three are asked 'what Glasgow football team plays at Firhill Stadium?'
Celtic comes up on The Chase
This was a relatively tough question for anyone who isn't a big Scottish football fan, with most supporters knowing that Ibrox and Celtic Park are the homes of the two Glasgow giants, while Firhill plays host to the less-heralded Partick Thistle.
Even The Beast missed out by answering Kilmarnock, and while the team giving an equally-wrong answer was forgivable, the pronunciation of' 'Celtic' was less so for some.
'Keltic,' answered a contestant by the name of Rebecca, and it's fair to say that people commenting on social media aren't letting her get away with it.

Celtic - A regular subject on The Chase
This isn't the first time that Celtic fans have seen their club come up on The Chase, with Sean Wallace recently giving viewers a lesson on the Lisbon Lions, who won famously won the European Cup back in 1967, by beating Inter Milan in the final.

As for Rebecca and her teammates, they now know the correct pronunciation of Celtic, as well as the fact that they don't play their home games at Firhill Park, something they won't be forgetting any time soon.
