Celtic-supporting wrestler Joe Coffey was in a huge match this weekend.
Celtic have just returned from their warm-weather training in Dubai, and are busy preparing for their return to domestic action.
The Bhoys lost 1-0 to Rangers last time out, and head off for something of a mini-pre-season to recharge the batteries for the second half of the season.
Whilst Celtic may not have had a game this past weekend, one major Bhoys fan was in action – but inside the squared circle rather than on a football pitch.
WWE have fully started up their NXT UK brand after a couple of years of speculation, and that has included a number of Scottish wrestlers.
Wolfgang is joined by Joe and Mark Coffey in the ‘Gallus’ faction, with all three Scots looking to make an impact in this new off-shoot of WWE.
Joe Coffey was in the main event of Saturday’s big show in Blackpool, losing to Pete Dunne in an effort for the United Kingdom Championship.
Coffey is a huge Celtic fan, and before the match even took place, he was pictured at the arena – Blackpool’s Empress Ballroom – in a Celtic shirt.
That prompted a message from the Bhoys on Sunday, congratulating Coffey on an ‘incredible’ weekend whilst encouraging him to get the title next time around – and it would be little surprise to see him celebrating in a Celtic shirt if that did happen.
