Remember when Kenny Dalglish held a Celtic press conference in a Glasgow boozer?
It was 2000 when the then interim Hoop booze took the unusual step of involving the fans in a press conference by talking to journalists in Bairds Bar in the Gallowgate.

The pub, which was in the heart of the East End, was a popular drinking hole for Celtic supporters which is perhaps why Dalglish choose it ahead of an Old Firm match.
At the time Dalglish, who was accompanied by former player Vidar Riseth, said: "We like to get out and show the fans how we get ready for the game, and they get to see a media conference."
Baird's was eventually forced to close after it had its licence revoked due to repeated violent incidents.
Dalglish was originally appointed director of football at Celtic in June, 1999 with former Liverpool player John Barnes taking on the role as head coach.
Barnes, however, was dismissed in February, 2000 and Dalglish was appointed manager.
