No Ronald… Oh, But He’s a Super McDonald

Scott McDonald is over the moon at the chance to captain Celtic for the first time in tomorrow’s 3pm match against Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium.

Sunday’s match between the Roar and Glasgow’s Celtic, is the only opportunity Australians will have to watch Celtic play, and fans have travelled from as far as Singapore and Malaysia to see the ‘Green Machine’.

“We’ve came from Adelaide, and other Celtic fans have travelled from as far as Singapore and Hong Kong,”  Celtic supporter Bobby Dassler says.

Tomorrow’s match is the first time McDonald has captained Celtic and his excitement is barely containable.

“I come from Melbourne, but everybody knows how amazing Suncorp Stadium is, and the Queensland fans are just great,” McDonald says.

McDonald has been keenly watching the progress of the A League, and believes the competition is improving out of sight.

“Everybody has seen the improvement in the A-League, and this can only be a benefit to the Australian team, especially in a World Cup year,” McDonald says.

Celtic coach Tony Mowbray was keen for his side to prove their worth, in his first competitive match as manager.

“All the players are looking forward to this match, and as my first as coach it’s rather special,” Mowbray says.

Celtic have recently recruited striker, Marc Antoine Fortune, who has been dubbed by some Roar fans as “Make a”, after his recent big money move from Nancy in France.

30,000 plus tickets have already been sold for the match at Suncorp Stadium, but tickets are still available in all areas.
