Most fans, when you get right down to it, watch soccer for the possibilities. They watch in hopes that they will see something sublime, something beautiful, something that brightens the day and flutters the heart.
These are the type of fans who love Scottish football, which has taken the phrase "The Beautiful Game" to heart, and also to mind, body and soul.
Just look at it.

No, no, we're not crying. There's just something in our eye. Watching Celtic play is like watching Picasso paint, or Dickens write, or Scorsese direct a movie. Some things just make sense in the world.

This must be what true love feels like. We are in love with the Scottish playing style.
