Jeremy Corbyn bumped into some Celtic fans on a flight to Romania and ended up going to their Champions League qualifier last night.

The Labour leader was on his way for a short break in Romania when he got chatting to some fans on the plane.

Next thing he knew he was in Transylvania, posing for pictures in the away end for the Hoops’ clash against CFR Cluj.

The life-long Arsenal supporter tweeted: “On a plane to Romania today I bumped into @CelticFC fans who invited me to join them watch their team play CFR 1907 Cluj. So I did.

“Odsonne Edouard impressed along with Celtic's discipline and determination."

He added: “Great match and Celtic got a vital away goal to take into the second leg.”

And the 1-1 draw at CFR Cluj Stadium was only the beginning of Corbyn’s Transylvanian adventure.

He was spotted by a number of increasingly baffled Celtic fans through the evening.

One fan joked about the row sparked this week by John McDonnell’s comments about another Scottish referendum.

McDonnell, speaking at an event at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, said any request to hold a second Scottish independence referendum should not be blocked - putting him at odds with Scottish Labour policy.

A fan wrote: “Good to see Jeremy Corbyn in Celtic end in Romania.

“Says Scottish Labour can STFU about not allowing another Independence ref.”

Another fan wrote: “Am so confused why did we just bump inty Jeremy Corbyn outside a swally shop in Romania on a Wednesday night after the fitbaw.”
