Where did that come from?
Borussia Monchengladbach: The home of Craggy Island’s All-Priests Five-A-Side Over 75s.
They’re big fans of Father Ted in North Rhine. Well, either that or they just reach for the first Twitter gif they can find but we think it’s the former.
The German club went sailing through to the Champions League group stage on Wednesday night with a dismantling of Young Boys and their social media account was in celebratory mode.
And we thought we got carried away making a link between Father Ted and sport.

Consider yourselves warned.
