Why Celtic v Celta is special Tomorrow's game sees a record ever away following for Celta with over 3,000 making the trip to Glasgow, but why? Galicia is the Celtic part of Spain, Galician TV for instance shows the all Ireland final every year and Celta means Celtic. There's been some confusion as to why this game means so much in Scotland but for Celta it's huge As one Celta director said "In Glasgow they don't understand why so many people from Vigo want to go to the game. For them, it's just another game, but it is a very special match for our supporters. "Lots of our fans bought a ticket first, then worried about travel and a hotel later!" Galicia as a region fully embraces its Celtic roots and you'll have lots of interactions where people identify as Galicians. Bagpipes are used to play the Galician anthem, they have Celtic festivals and Galicia has its own unique identity within Spain Many often identify the Basques with Celtic identity but it's Galicians who are the Celts of Spain This is not just another game for Celta, it's a Celtic derby So that is why Thursdays game means so much to Celta, a club steeped in Galician identity.
