ROCK N' ROLL FOOTBALL Celtic’s new signing is ex-Premier League ace who is dating Oasis legend’s daughter and is son of former RANGERS star
CELTIC'S new signing Nathaniel Phillips is dating the daughter of Oasis legend Liam Gallagher... and he also has a famous father of his own.

The centre-back, 26, came through Liverpool's youth set-up and broke into Jurgen Klopp's squad during the 2019/20 campaign.

But just 29 appearances across four seasons have seen him look for game time elsewhere.
He has had loan spells at Stuttgart and Bournemouth.
Now he has secured another loan move away from Merseyside by joining Celtic.
The switch to the Scottish giants comes despite his dad, Jimmy, being a former Rangers player.
The older member of the Phillips family, 57, enjoyed one year at Ibrox between 1987 and 1988 - playing under Graeme Souness.
He went on to play for Oxford United and Middlesbrough, along with two spells at Bolton.
But Jimmy's son will now be turning out for their bitter Glasgow rivals as Brendan Rodgers brings in the Bolton-born man.
Meanwhile, when it comes to his off-pitch lifestyle, Phillips is dating Molly Moorish Gallagher - the daughter of former Oasis frontman Liam.

Molly's mum, Lisa Moorish, is also a recognisable face as she was the lead singer of the band Kill City.
Phillips and Molly went public in 2022 after the young Gallagher shared a picture of the pair together.
And when Phillips helped Bournemouth clinch promotion to the Premier League, she hilariously reacted: "Big fan of your work."
Now Phillips will be hoping to secure a first league winner's medal with Celtic as he heads north of the border.
The Hoops have won 11 of the last 12 Scottish Premiership titles.
After confirming his move to the Scottish champions, Phillips told Celtic TV: "I'm really excited. When I heard about the interest it was one that got me excited.
"There were a few other options that didn't quite make me feel the same as this one did, so I was really keen to get it over the line and I'm delighted to be here now."
"It's the history of the club.
"It's such a huge club, the club's aspirations, the level it competes at, the fact that they're in the Champions League this year and the mentality of the club – they want to be winners in everything they do."
