The half-time draw at Parkhead is just part of the match day routine for Celtic fans.

It will be one of the strangest moments in Scottish football history.

Coolio was brought on to announce the winners as the Paradise Windfall was about to start.

The rapper wore a Celtic scarf as he walked to the stands to greet his fans before the prize was announced.

As Gangsta's Paradise was played in the stadium, he waved.

The star was at the game.

A friendship was formed during his time on Celebrity Big Brother.

Coolio was able to visit the politician at his home in Cardonald.

"From Gangsta's Paradise to Paradise" is what Mr. Sheridan said he hoped to bring his friend to the Celtic- Hibs game.

Coolio was scheduled to perform at the Hydro that night with Salt-N-Pepa, Tone-Loc, Colour Me Badd, Young MC andVanilla Ice.

Coolio said during a Celtic TV interview that he brought the Gangsta's Paradise to the real Paradise. It was a hail storm.

Tommy has been telling me about the Celtics for a long time and I wanted to see it for myself.

I'm having a good time and we're up one.

After John McGinn scored two goals for Hibs in the second half, he ended the interview with a "Hail, hail".

The final score was two to one.

Coolio died at the age of 59.

He was found unresponsive in the bathroom of a friend's house.

Gangsta's Paradise was the lead track of the soundtrack for Dangerous Minds, which starred Pfeiffer.

She said she was sad at the news.

She said that her film saw a lot of success because of his song.

Coolio's official website states that it has passed a billion streams on the streaming service.
