Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese
Scottish actor Peter Mullan is well-known for his roles in iconic films such as Braveheart, Trainspotting and Harry Potter.
But the Peterhead-born Celtic fan has one thing that his peers can only dream off – a Hoops jersey signed by none other than Martin Scorsese.
The legendary American filmmaker is among the most celebrated directors of all time and is responsible for a whole catalogue of iconic films, from Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street and his latest masterpiece, Killers of the Flower Moon, released in 2023.
The likes of Leonardo diCaprio, Robert de Niro and Joe Pesci have starred in several of Scorsese’s films and many of their iconic performances are still talked about to this day.
And while he has never worked with the Oscar winner, Celtic-daft Mullen, 65, has revealed just how he got the movie hero to personally sign a top bearing his team’s colours back in 1998.
Speaking on the BBC Radio Scotland’s Saturday Show, he said: “It’s the only Celtic top on Earth signed by Martin Scorsese.
“I was at the Cannes Film Festival and they gave me a prize, and the head of the jury was Martin Scorsese.
“I’d rolled by Celtic top, cause we had a loosely named Celtic Supporters club called ‘The Martin Scorsese’s Celtic Supporters Club’, it was a gag title for us.
“So I went to Cannes and thought ‘how cool would it be if I get him to sign it?’ and put it in my sporran, and it burst my sporran!
“So when I went up to collect the prize, I’m kind of holding this bloody thing together, and then at the party afterwards, I went up and asked them to sign it, and because he was by that time, ‘my pal Marty’, he signed it.
“He (then) said ‘what is it with you guys? I’m asthmatic, I hate sports. That was his words.

“So then him and I became best buddies.
“I don’t know where the the top is but there was one photograph taken of it, and it was one of those old-school, little cameras.
“But there is a photograph of it, we got it printed off.”
