MUCH has happened since my last column.
I tied the knot, travelled parts of Asia but more importantly (don’t tell my wife I said that!), watched the Bhoys create history again by winning the Double Treble!
Working at the club has led to a fair share of surreal moments, but none more so than that glorious day of Saturday, May 19, 2018.
It was the first bus parade I’ve ever experienced and being onboard to witness the sea of green and white in the East End of Glasgow, alongside those who made it all happen, was a truly unforgettable experience.
One week later I was able to tick another one off the bucket list as my brother, Ghaith, and I travelled to Kiev, Ukraine, for the UEFA Champions League final.
Like most sporting enthusiasts, it has always been a dream of mine to take in club football’s biggest spectacle and I was lucky enough to be at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium that night to see Gareth Bale produce a moment of pure history. His overhead kick was sublimely executed but it wasn’t quite Moussa Dembele vs Man City, was it?
Bale’s goal was the best ever scored in a final and to think that I can always look back at that and say that I was there (whilst wearing the Hoops too!) is something that will live with me for the rest of my life.
