THE news last week that Celtic mascot Hoopy the Huddle Hound had allegedly been charged with theft has rocked the world of club mascots to the core.
For those of you who missed the story, it was reported that police were called in by Celtic after a 20-year-old man who wore the costume to play Hoopy was involved in an incident at the stadium.
Apparently, he has been stripped of his costume, sacked by club officials and a report passed to the procurator-fiscal.
