On a lively Friday night in Edinburgh, August 8, 2025, the air around Murrayfield Stadium pulsed with anticipation. Oasis, the legendary Manchester band, had returned to Scotland as part of their much-hyped Live '25 reunion tour, drawing a crowd eager to relive the anthems that defined a generation. Among the sea of fans, one attendee stood out—not for her celebrity, but for her sartorial choice and the story it told. Anais Gallagher, daughter of Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher, was spotted in the audience proudly sporting a green Adidas tracksuit top emblazoned with the crest of Celtic Football Club.
The sight of Anais, 25, clad in Celtic colors quickly became a talking point both inside and outside the stadium. According to The Celtic Star, she shared a photo of herself at the home of Scottish Rugby, her outfit unmistakably signaling allegiance to Glasgow’s beloved Celtic FC. The image, posted to her Instagram story, was soon making the rounds on social media, with fans and football supporters alike applauding her for openly declaring her support.
For many, this wasn’t just a fashion statement—it was a nod to a longstanding family tradition. As reported by The Daily Record, Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher have Irish roots and a well-documented history with Celtic. Their mother, Peggy Gallagher, is a devoted supporter of the club, and her enthusiasm appears to have trickled down through the generations. Fans on social media were quick to point out the family’s connection: “Noel and Liam’s mum Peggy is famously a massive Celtic fan, with both brothers regularly showing their support for the Hoops throughout the years,” one supporter posted on X (formerly Twitter). Another chimed in, “Anais rocking the Celtic trackie at the Oasis gig,” while a third exuberantly declared, “ANAIS WEARING CELTIC YESSS.”
The Gallagher brothers’ affinity for Celtic is hardly a secret. Over the years, both Noel and Liam have made appearances at Celtic Park, the club’s storied home ground. Noel, in particular, has been seen at some memorable matches. He was present for Celtic’s famous 6-2 demolition derby win over Rangers in 2000, a match that remains etched in the club’s folklore. Later, he attended a dramatic 3-3 draw between his boyhood heroes Manchester City and Celtic during Brendan Rodgers’ first season as manager, a game that had football fans across the continent talking. The brothers have even flown the United Irishmen flag at Oasis gigs, further cementing their ties to both their Irish heritage and the Scottish club.
Yet, for Anais, the Edinburgh gig marked a first. While she has been a regular presence at her father’s concerts throughout the reunion tour—including the opening night in Cardiff and an epic five-night run at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium—this was the first public display of her Celtic allegiance. The timing, location, and her visible pride in wearing the club’s emblem resonated with fans on both sides of the football-music divide. According to The Scottish Sun, the photo of Anais in her Celtic top was shared widely, with countless supporters applauding her for embracing the family’s footballing passion.
The Oasis reunion itself has been nothing short of a phenomenon. Every date on the UK and Ireland leg of the tour sold out within minutes when tickets went on sale in August 2024, such was the pent-up demand to see the band back together after years apart. The frenzy was so intense that two extra Wembley Stadium dates had to be added, and even those vanished in record time. For many fans, scoring a ticket became a badge of honor—and a source of frustration for those who missed out.
Anais, as it turns out, has found herself at the center of this ticketing maelstrom. In a candid TikTok video, she expressed her exasperation with the deluge of direct messages from desperate fans seeking help with ticket transfers and merchandise queries. “What is it about some Oasis fans? DM-ing me like I am fing Ticketmaster or Shopify or something,” she said, her tone equal parts bemused and overwhelmed. “People are messaging me like, ‘I’m having trouble transferring my ticket to somebody—this is my Ticketmaster code’. What the f do I know about Ticketmaster?”
The requests didn’t stop at tickets. Anais revealed she’s also been approached about Oasis merchandise, with people asking about t-shirts in unavailable sizes and where to purchase them. “How am I meant to know what shops are stocking your size?” she continued. “I don’t know, I wish I could help you but I am kind of baffled that when people have an issue they think, ‘Do you know what, let me DM Anais, she’s going to know how I can transfer my ticket’. Guys ... I can’t!”
Despite the barrage of messages, Anais has remained a visible and enthusiastic supporter of her father’s career and the family’s footballing traditions. Her appearance at Murrayfield, proudly representing Celtic, was a moment that resonated with many. It was a reminder of the intersection between music and sport—a place where identities, loyalties, and passions converge. The Gallagher family’s Celtic connection has always been there, but seeing it passed down to the next generation, and celebrated so publicly, added another layer to the story of Oasis’s triumphant return.
The Live '25 reunion tour itself has been a testament to the enduring appeal of Oasis. The band’s ability to sell out stadiums after all these years speaks to the lasting power of their music and the emotional connection fans feel. For many in the audience at Murrayfield, the night was more than just a concert—it was a communal celebration, a chance to sing along to songs that have become anthems of youth, rebellion, and hope. And for Anais Gallagher, it was an opportunity to honor her family’s heritage, both musical and sporting, in front of thousands.
As the final notes echoed through the Edinburgh night and fans poured out into the city streets, the image of Anais in her Celtic top lingered—a symbol of tradition, pride, and the ways in which music and football can bring people together. In a world that often feels divided, moments like these remind us of the power of shared passions, and the stories that connect us across generations.
