A football-mad Dundee couple are to be married in full Celtic strips.

Jacqueline Greig and her hubby-to-be Steve Petrie who has a son called Larsson after Celtic legend Henrik are to tie the knot on St Patrick’s Day.

Steve, a labourer, will wear the full home kit while Jacqueline will be kitted out in away colours.

“I’m a big Celtic fan we both are and regularly go to games,” said Steve,

“Because it’s St Patrick’s Day we thought it would be a fitting tribute. I’ve never heard of anyone getting married in football strips so we thought, why not?”

The pair are to be wed at the Dundee Registry office with guests being asked to follow the strict green-based dress code.

“My brother is the best man he’ll be in a Celtic strip too, and so will Larsson,” said Steve.

“Everyone has been asked to wear green or something Celtic. People have said it’s a great idea and we think it will be a fantastic day.”

The pair first met 25 years ago, but only became an item after they got back in touch in 2011.

Lifelong Hoops fans, they enjoyed footballing favour early on when the first match they attended together finished as a 2-0 win over Hibs.

Steve was also struck by son Larsson’s birth weight of 7lbs, with the number matching that on the shirt of his hero Henrik Larsson.

His son Stevie, 23, will also be sporting a Celtic jersey at the ceremony.

They intend to play Celtic songs at the ceremony, but said there were no plans yet for a colourful wedding cake.

Carer Jacqui, whose favourite Bhoy is Gary Hooper, who has now departed for Norwich City in the English Premier League, said: “Our friends thought we were joking when they first heard.

“We’re trying to let the club know that we’re going to do it.”

Both agreed that a guest appearance from Neil Lennon would be “brilliant”.

The couple plan to move in together at some point after their wedding, and Steve added that their home would “all be green and white, obviously”.

And, despite Paul Hartley’s arrival making it two ex-Parkhead players in Dundee dugouts, both were adamant they won’t be making a more local matchday trip any time soon.
