CELTIC has been named as having the best fan chant in world football by a Spanish football site that shared a clip of fans belting out their version of a pop classic.
90min en Español praised hoops fans for creating an atmosphere that was like “a real party in the stands” when they sing one particular track that has been ranked higher than fan chants from Liverpool, River Plate and Real Madrid.
The website crowned Celtic fans’ rendition of Depeche Mode’s Just Can’t Get Enough as the best fan song you’re likely to hear in any football stadium across the globe.
To come to their decision, 90min en Español made a list of 12 songs that are seen as the most famous in the world.
And a favourite among the Celtic support came in second place as well but not a version sung by hoops fans.
Liverpool’s iconic You’ll Never Walk Alone came in just behind Celtic’s Just Can’t Get Enough.
Famous fan chants from River Plate and Real Madrid also made the list along with Club Brugge’s version of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.

90min en Español said: "In 90min we have decided that the first place goes to the fans of Celtic from Scotland, who show that their fans are not just a few hundred but the whole stadium who start a real party in the stands every time 'I Just Can't Get Enough' is blasted out.
"Everyone sings, everyone dances, everyone applauds, but no one stands still."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
