Samuel L Jackson ditches Rangers for Celtic as Hollywood icon flashes famous smile with Gianni Capaldi

Samuel L Jackson might know what makes a tasty burger – but it seems he can’t decide which of the Glasgow giants to cheer on.

One week on from being pictured holding a Rangers jersey, the Pulp Fiction star has now crossed the divide to don Celtic colours. The Hollywood behemoth is filming his latest project in Scotland right now, a movie titled Damaged. It’s about a serial killer terrorising the nation and also stars Westworld’s Vincent Cassel and Scottish actor Gianni Capaldi.

At the end of last month, Rangers fans were left tickled when Jackson took time out from shooting to pose with this season’s first-team jersey in his trailer. Signed by the Hollywood A-lister himself, the shirt sported the number 23, which currently belongs to Ibrox frontman Scott Wright. But huge Celtic fan and fellow Damaged star Capaldi seemingly wasn’t having that – and got Jackson to switch allegiances.

Ahead of the Scottish Premiership showdown at Celtic Park, Capaldi shared a picture of him and Star Wars actor Jackson both wearing training tracksuits of the Parkhead giants. He wrote: "Unleash the FURY. Cmon @CelticFC. Big love from @OfficialGianni & a Jedi from the set of #Damaged." One Hoops fan replied to Capaldi: "Gianni, the big man he was running about with their top on. Can't be having that."
