A CELTIC superfan met his hero thanks to a chance meeting with his dad in Nando's.
Moussa Dembele surprised youngster Ollie after his dad Robert Leonard bumped into him at the restaurant a week ago.
The father told the former Fulham star how much his son admired him and that he was his favourite player.
During the conversation, Dembele asked for his phone number to follow up with a meeting after yesterday's 2-0 win against Motherwell.
The Hoops player asked his agent to send Robert a message to meet him at the reception once the game was over.
Ollie was gifted a signed football, match programme and photo to capture the meeting.
Was sent this from my mate, his mate met Moussa in Nandos and this is what followed... Some man @MDembele_10 pic.twitter.com/yjqXwQxVhn
