COMEDY legend Billy Connolly made an appearance at Sunday's Celtic game against Hearts.
Several fans took to social media to share their delight at the 76-year-old's attendance at the match which saw Celtic win 3-1.
The Glasgow-born star, who is in the running for our Evening Times Greatest Glaswegian gong, took time to pose with football fans ahead of the match at Parkhead.
