Two Irish Celtic fans fined ahead of Inter game for swimming naked and drunk in Lake Como

The Irish are in town

Conan Doherty

That’s one way to christen a town.

What else do you want to know? Two Irish lads, drunk, in the nip, skinny-dipping last night in Lake Como.

Celtic take on Inter this evening in Milan and two Irish lads will appreciate their seats more than most after police caught them red-handed.

The Celtic supporters, believed to be 22 and 25, were found drunk and naked in Lake Como at 11.30pm on Wednesday evening when a local went and ruined their party, Italian site Repubblica Sport are reporting.

Authorities arrived on the scene to find a group of young people with two of them scampering to get their clothes on whilst drying themselves.

Police accompanied the pair back to their hotel and issued them with a fine.

We just hope that a) they remember it and b) they’ve made it to the game this evening.
