For a club with socialist leanings, St Pauli sure do know how to market themselves.

The German Bundesliga 2 side may be minnows of the game, but their fame extends beyond their exploits on the field. St Pauli are renowned for their fan’s socialist-leanings, and stance against racism, sexism, fascism and homophobia.

The Hamburg club also have three of the best kits you’re going to see this season, and have close links to Celtic.

The two regularly play friendlies against each other, and the next time the Hoops are at Millerntor Stadium, this will be the scene that awaits them before they take the field:
