Aston Villa captain John McGinn's family and friends traveled to Birmingham for a match against Celtic, creating a mix of loyalties among supporters. McGinn's brother, Stephen, noted that while some family members support Celtic, the shared excitement of both teams advancing in the UEFA Champions League added to the day's significance. Despite a competitive atmosphere, Stephen recognized the fun in managing divided support, joking about the 'poker faces' on the minibus ride. This match marks Villa's final group game, and the family cherishes the opportunity to bond over such a significant event.
It's a nice problem to have in terms of both qualifying. Had it been Villa needing the three points and Celtic needing the three points, it would have been a bit tense.
There are some split loyalties on there - some Celtic fans jumped on. Honestly, there's a lot of people doing some acting, so I'm not really sure.
It's a perfect day to go down and enjoy it. The fact that both sides have entered the next stage of the Champions League.
My first thought was it was a big thing. Obviously, we used to go to Champion League games together, myself, John, and my other brother.
