For many years, Scott McDonald was one of just two Australians to pull on the Hoops of Celtic, but in recent years the Aussie connection has grown even stronger.

With Tom Rogic's long career as a Celtic player and now Ange Postecoglou, Harry Kewell and Aaron Mooy at the club, the Bhoys are experiencing a new level of fame down under.

The support has been highlighted with the team currently in Sydney for the Sydney Super Cup and on Friday night, down by the harbour, a large number of Celtic fans gathered for a special adidas fan event hosted by McDonald alongside the manager and a group of first-team players.

The former striker knows all too well about the club's global fanbase but he has been thrilled to see such a big support on this trip to Oz.

He told the Celtic website: "I’m absolutely loving the fact that Celtic are here as a football club and really driving things.

"There’s obviously the connection with Australia with Ange and Harry being there, and also Aaron Mooy.

"Then previous to that you have people connected with Celtic Park like myself.

'It’s great to be here and see so much green and white taking over Sydney.'

"It’s amazing and I was blessed to understand that from an early age.

"Like Ange talks about, coming from Australia you see the support there with all the ex-pats over the years, my parents being the same.

"I’ve been to America during my time as a Celtic player and see the support there and it’s just amazing and great when Celtic can touch down here and be part of the party."
