Rob McElhenney dons Celtic kit as as he forgets who their rivals are and asks 'are they Catholic or Protestant?'
Wrexham co-owner Rob McElehenny donned a retro Celtic strip during a trip to a specialist store.
The Always Sunny in Phildelaphia star has been celebrating along with fellow Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds after the Welsh club secured a second successive promotion by beating Charlton at the weekend.
Wrexham will now play in the Championship next season, leaving the mega stars potentially just one campaign away from realising their English Premier League dream.
But as McElhenney browsed the classic shirts at AwayDays, he picked out the Hoops home shirt from the infamous 2004/05 season - the one they wore on Helicopter Sunday when a last day defeat to Motherwell handed the Premiership title to Rangers.
Martin O'Neill went on to lift the Scottish Cup the following week, but it's events at Fir Park which still linger in the collective Old Firm memories.
Of course, McElhenney would hardly be aware of the last day title drama in Scotland 20 years ago, saying: "Oh gosh! I might go with this, just because it's Celtic and it's got Irish links. It's just cool. Carling."
McElhenney then tries it on before asking the big questions: "Celtic, who are their main rivals? Rangers? Is it like Ireland where one is Catholic and one is Protestant? And which one is this?"
When the AwayDays rep tells him he's wearing the 'Catholic one', a relieved McElhenney replies: "I'm good."

Brendan Rodgers on Celtic fans 'sack the board' chant and who will really pay the price
The fans unleashed their fury during and after the goalless draw with Kairat Almaty Concerned Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers reckons it's normally the MANAGER that is shown the door when fans chant 'sack the board' It was a tough evening for the Scottish Premiership champions as the Kazakhstan side Kairat Almaty held the Hoops to a goalless draw the first leg of the Champions League playoff. The Celtic fans vented their anger at the Parkhead decision-makers after a sluggish transfer window going into the £40million shoot-out - with chants of 'sack the board' heard ringing out from the stands. Tensions have been bubbling throughout the summer with Rodgers making it clear that he would like to see more new faces coming in the door, particularly up front. The club now face the prospect of a 7000-mile round trip for the second leg as they look to return to the league phase of Europe's elite competition. Speaking to TNT Sports, Rodgers was asked if the board would listen to him and the support: "I don't know, I can only concentrate on the team that we have currently. I can't get too distracted by what I don't have..." Pressed on if he understands what the fans are saying, he went on: "Yeah, absolutely. But sack the board? "I don't know any board that gets sacked, it's usually the manager. At any club I ever see it's the manager that gets sacked, not the board. "But listen, we have to go away and analyse tonight and see where we could be better. "The guys at the top end of the pitch are giving their all, but like I have said many times - to progress at this level, we need to have more - it's as simple as that. 'But, we won't have that for Tuesday and our concentration is now for Saturday with Livingston to freshen up, with a mammoth journey, and hopefully it ends with the Champions League league phase."

Celtic 0-0 Kairat: What Rodgers said
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "We're disappointed with the result and first-half performance. We didn't start with the intent and mentality we wanted to. We were quite passive."We weren't moving as a team as we would like. The second half was better, we started well, but couldn't find the breakthrough in the final third of the pitch."Of course, you want to take the advantage. I've been here before, having drawn 0-0 in a qualification game against Rosenborg, a very good team, we went there to qualify and we did, played very well and won."There's no doubt we can go there and win. Of course, you want to take an advantage with you, it's still very much in the balance."What I do know is, over many years, 'sack the board' usually means 'sack the manager'. It's normally the manager that goes when that starts to be sung."I can only really look at the players we have here, and the performance. We've known for a long time what we've needed as a squad, so I don't want to go into that."At the end of the game, we have to shuffle things about to try and make it work. But the players' endeavour in the second half was really good. But at this level, it's more than that."Hopefully, we can show that. The boys are a great bunch of lads, really honest. They've started the season well, defensively been strong, but tonight offensively we couldn't show those moments of quality to break through."We need to improve the squad. There's been clarity around that for a long time. Supporters see that. We do in football. We need to improve."This is a performance club. That starts on the field. You do that by getting the very best players you possibly can to allow you to perform. To play a style that excites supporters."Hopefully between now and the end of the season, the club will get that and that will support us."It's not my decision in the end. I can prepare the team, the staff, and the players that are here who have been fantastic in pre-season. We are all clear on where we need to improve, and for whatever reason we haven't been able to do that."We're in this position, we have to accept that and not dwell on it, and try and come through it."As I said to the players at half-time, 'if you're going to miss the bus - make sure you run'. Don't be walking. Whatever happens, we have to give everything and make sure we're running."
