Martin Compston plays down Celtic 'glory hunter' jibes as he points to Hoops love affair that started out a 'mess'

Martin Compston says he is no Celtic glory hunter - as Ange Postecoglou has him revelling in the good times that are a far contrast from when he started supporting the club.

The Line of Duty star grew up in the 90s during a time of Rangers' nine-in-a-row dominance but since the turn of the millennium, it has been joyous times for the Parkhead side. A 2-0 win over Hearts last Sunday sealed an 11th Premiership title in 12 years, while they have won 10 Scottish Cups, 11 League Cups and five trebles since 2000.

Postecoglou's high-tempo style is a joy to watch for the Scottish actor, who tells The Celtic View he loves where the club is at because of where it's been. Compston said: “People always say about being a glory hunter, but you’re born into Celtic - you don’t have any other option. When I was my nephew’s age, it was not a happy time to be a Celtic fan growing up.
