Rod Stewart gets huge Glasgow Celtic logo tattooed on his arm

Sir Rod Stewart got a tattoo of the Glasgow Celtic Scottish FC team logo at the end of the Australasian leg of his world tour.

The rocker, 78, visited a local body art parlour in Auckland, New Zealand and had the image inked onto his shoulder.

Sir Rod, who has been a huge fan of the football team for most of his life, shared a snap of himself wearing a white tank top while the artist needled the logo onto his right shoulder.

“Getting a Glasgow Celtic tattoo in Auckland to celebrate my beloved team. You’re in My Heart,” he captioned the photo.

He also shared a picture of him singing in front of a 12,000-strong audience at his show while wearing his team’s green-and-white colours at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

The tattoo and the musical tribute were to mark his team’s  winning match in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

While some fans joked that he was a bit too old to still have to prove he was ‘Rock n Roll’ with a tattoo, most praised the move.

His wife Penny Lancaster commented: “Amazing celebration to end a great Australian/New Zealand tour,” alongside a shamrock emoji.

“Safe travels mate. Go Celtic,” wrote his touring partner Jon Stevens as others echoed the sentiment.

One person wrote: “Imagine the pressure on this tattoo artist just knowing you’re inking up one of the best musicians to walk this earth?”

While another said: “What an honour for that tattoo artist!”

Over the past month, the Do Ya Think I’m Sexy star has been performing a greatest hits tour across Australia and New Zealand, culminating in a sold-out show in Auckland on Sunday.

During his downtime, he’s been visiting the well-known local haunts in New South Wales, including the Woodpecker Model Railways shop in Pendle Hill to search for toy trains to add to his extensive collection.

He also enjoyed a ferry ride along Sydney Harbour to the beachside suburb of Manly.
