"In a festive atmosphere, both sets of fans came together in Casel De Festas. At 12.30 the mood of the Celtic party, which slowly filled the precinct, was lively. The Scottish fans disembarked from the buses wearing their team's shirt, in the case of many of them in conjunction with the yellow of Villarreal.
"There were some wearing the traditional Scottish kilts and many of them holding beers, and why shouldn't they?
"At midday queues began to form for the giant paella which was on offer to anyone who wanted it. Others bought scarves and shirts which to remember the historic day.
"Ernesto Buixander, the president of the Celtic Submari supporters' club, said yesterday: 'This has allowed people to make friends, enjoy the game and work together when needed.'
"This is a true lesson to the violent (fans)."

Yours in Celtic
