When my best mate called to ask if I wanted to go to see Celtic vs Hearts today, I didn't have to think long, since I've not seen him for a while. When we met at the ground, it transpired that his mate knew one of the players, so the "tickets"  he had got for us were passes to the players' lounge and viewing area. We only saw two players - one who was injured playing in the week - since most were out on the pitch! Although it was exciting to see behind doors which are normally closed to usual supporters, and we got free pies at half time, it was a strangely tame experience watching from behind glass in comfy chairs, surrounded by families and guests of the club. It was half way to watching on television, with the only sounds of the crowd coming from TVs behind us which were showing the game. 

An interesting experience, nonetheless - and 5-0 was a great result! Sorry to any Jambos reading this!
