It鈥檚 well documented that he鈥檚 a Celtic fan. The Rangers fans give him a bit of grief and it鈥檚 in good humour, it鈥檚 good patter. He likes the banter. He comes here and he loves taking pictures with people, he always says if that ever stops then he鈥檚 in trouble. 鈥淗e never gets harangued here. People are happy to see him, and he鈥檚 happy to see them. He comes and spends a lot of time here, he loves to stay here in the Radisson RED hotel as well. 鈥淚 think we are less celebrity driven in Glasgow, we want to say hello and give you a nod, say hello, we鈥檙e not going to try to hang about all day.

He loves new bands and is always asking about that kind of thing.鈥 Take a look at some of Rod Stewart鈥檚 favourite places in Glasgow – some are where you might even bump into the singer.
