A European side has made a chant about their triumphs on the continent

The song includes a cheeky jab at Celtic, who they beat in the Conference League

The Bodo/Glimt fans still relish their victory over the Hoops in 2022
Fans of Bodo/Glimt watched their team run out 5-1 aggregate winners over Celtic when the teams met in the Conference League back in 2022.
They beat Ange Postecoglu's side 3-1 at Parkhead, before sealing the tie with a 2-0 victory in Norway.
And the Glimt supporters still relish that run to the quarter-finals in the inaugural year of the Conference League.
A recent video from Copa 90 showed the Glimt fans chanting during their Europa League quarter-final with Lazio.
Asked what the fans were saying, a Glimt club representative translated the chant as it was being sung.
The chant went: "We have been and plundered Roma, Celtic wasn't any good, who's supposed to stand in the way, Bodo/Glimt is the biggest in the North."
The Eliteserien side beat Lazio 2-0 in the first leg and progressed on penalties in Rome after the Italians won 3-1 after extra time.
That set up a semi-final meeting with Tottenham Hotspur and a rematch for Postecoglu, who faired better than when he was Celts boss, winning the first leg 3-1 last night.
Meanwhile, the Hoops are reeling over Brendan Rodgers' injury update on crocked star Jota.
The Portuguese winger went down injured in the first half of Celts' title-winning victory over Dundee United.
Next season will be Brendan Rodgers' LAST as Celtic manager says Robert Grieve
He was spotted on crutches at Tannadice, and fans feared it was a serious blow for the 26-year-old.
And boss Rodgers confirmed the worst in his press conference, revealing that it was an anterior cruciate ligament injury which will keep Jota out for six to nine MONTHS.

Connor Syme revels in a kid-like joy as Scottish golf star amazes in Amsterdam with signature win
The Scottish star capped an outstanding week at the KLM Open with a strong final round to grab a deserved victory in Amsterdam. Overjoyed Connor Syme went back to acting like a kid as he claimed a cherished first-ever title on the DP World Tour. The Scottish star capped an outstanding week at the KLM Open with a strong final round to grab a deserved victory in Amsterdam. Syme scored at the 182nd attempt to become the sixth Tartan ace to nab the major prize in the Netherlands and admits he went back to his roots to do it. With winds hammering the course throughout the tournament and causing delays in play, the 29-year-old used skills honed in his formative years to find the key. Syme said: 'Unbelievable. It was so, so difficult the last few days. Different shots I've played as a kid, that was the kind of feeling it was and just everyone helped so much. I just felt so much better this week, I felt really ready to do it, and I'm so, so happy I managed to do it.' Popular Syme was embraced by caddie Ryan McGuigan and wife Alanis at the finale before being drenched in champagne by pal and compatriot Ewen Ferguson. Richie Ramsay also on hand at the final green as he made his off the green to jubilant scenes in front of family and friends having defeated closest challenger Joakim Lagergren by two shots. He said: 'It's so, so nice they stuck around. I've obviously been really pleased for them and I'm really happy to have joined them and won myself, so just amazing. Amazing. Every part of my team is so, so important, I'm buzzing I've done it with Ryan on the bag as well, I'm just overjoyed.' In winning, he followed in the footprints of Jimmy Adams, Brian Barnes, Ken Brown, Gordon Brand Jnr, Stephen McAllister and Colin Montgomerie as victots in the Dutch event. Syme started the day two shots ahead and stayed solid to also get the congrats from Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit and become the second Scots winner on Tour this year after Calum Hill's success in South Africa. Fergsuon was spraying the champagne, but he also got a prize of his own having bagged a hole in one during the final round. The Glaswegian is having 750 stroopwafels, one for each metre of the four par-threes at the course in total, shipped back to his homeland by tournament chiefs. Ferguson tied tied-fourth with Ramsay, who celebrated an excellent return from an absence from competitive action through ilness.

Arsenal told they must cough up £84m to sign attacking target
Juventus are determined to fend off Arsenal's interest in Kenan Yildiz, unless the Gunners are prepared to pay in excess of €100million (£84m) for the forward this summer. Yildiz further established himself as one of the most promising attacking talents in Italian football with a return of nine goals and eight assists in all competitions for Juve last season. But there has been mounting speculation that Yildiz could be on his way out of the Allianz Stadium, with the 20-year-old attracting the attentions of a host of top European teams. According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Arsenal have shown the most concrete interest of those potential suitors and sent scouts to watch over Yildiz's performances several times in recent months. The report claims Yildiz finds himself at the top of Arsenal's wishlist, alongside Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, with the club's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, keen to add greater firepower to Mikel Arteta's attack. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Arsenal are also working on a deal for renowned talent spotter, Matteo Tognozzi, who helped facilitate Yildiz's move to Juve in 2022 – and it's thought his presence in north London could be key in capturing the Turkey international. However, Juve are said to be determined to shut down Arsenal's advances and would only entertain offers in excess of €100million (£84m) for their sought-after No.10. The Serie A giants 'do not want to be caught unprepared' and the club's general manager, Damien Comolli, plans to enter into contract talks with Yidiz's entourage in due course. Yildiz's current deal in Turin runs through to the summer of 2029. Speaking to DAZN last month, Yildiz said he and the rest of Juventus' squad were enjoying their time under new manager Igor Tudor. 'He gave us energy, it was important for us,' Yildiz said of the Croatian, who replaced Thiago Motta in the dugout back in March. 'Since he arrived, we've been happy, we've been working hard. 'I'm happy with this season, but I want to improve in everything. I'm always looking ahead. 'The No.10 shirt doesn't add any pressure. I play as usual and I'm happy to be wearing it.' Mikel Arteta has made no secret of his desire to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer and last month told fans to expect a 'big' transfer window. 'It's going to be a big one and we are very excited about it,' the Arsenal head coach told reporters. 'When you are going to go again, we want to increase the depth of the squad and the quality and the skills that we need to go to the next step. 'Every summer is big because it is an opportunity – and especially because of the number of players we have in the squad right now, that is necessary. 'But it's a big summer for many things because first of all we have to maintain the good foundations that we have and then obviously how can we improve and evolve the team.'

Neil Lennon in James Forrest quip after incredible career
The Pars boss watched on as the most decorated Hoops player of all time struck against St Mirren on the final day of the league season to ensure he had scored in each of the last 16 seasons. Lennon gave Forrest his debut at the age of 18 and would go on to rely heavily upon him across two spells as manager. The 33-year-old now has 26 winners' medals - 13 Scottish Premiership titles, eight Scottish Cups and five Scottish League Cups and that scoring record just ensure his name was etched further into club folklore. Lennon has huge admiration for him and has been so proud to see what he has gone on to achieve. He even joked he might be tempted to try and get him to drop down a division. He said: "It's wonderful. I'm so proud of him. "You couldn't write a better story when he got the last-minute goal against St Mirren. What a player. He was like that when he was 18. He's so humble. He's never changed. He shies away from all the spotlight and just gets on with his football. "He's one of the most exciting players Celtic have had for forever, really. Jamesy would drive at you from the left, he'd drive at you from the right. He's a great finisher. He had his ups and downs with injuries, but if you talk to every player or every manager who's worked with him, he's just been a joy to work with. "I think James respects what I did for him in his career. I managed him twice, and he always delivered. I loved him. I loved watching him play because he was different. He wanted to take people on. That was his remit when he was younger. I said I want you to run at people, and he was brilliant at it. "He was a really good finisher as well. I'm delighted for him. He's had a mega career. It is incredible that he is Celtic's most decorated player. You wouldn't he just shrugs his shoulders and wants to get the next one! "The consistency he has had and the talent. He's not lost that change of pace either. He can do a number on you from a standing position. He still has that wee electric burst to get away from people. "His finishing has always been top-class with both feet. You could play him anywhere along that front three, or even now, as he's getting older, you could play him as a 10. I'll maybe try and get him here. I'll have a chat!"
