‘I’ve had a number of’ Rod Stewart’s pitchside interview on CBS with Peter Schmeichel, Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah ‘massive knees’ Richards was a breath of recent air and proves the US viewers are having extra enjoyable than us within the UK
Rod Stewart pitchside at his beloved Celtic Park, holding a microphone subsequent to Peter Schmeichel whereas Jamie Carragher delivers a horrible rendition of Maggie Might down the road from the CBS Studio.
“You look incredible!” the previous Champions League winner, ranked at No.14 in FourFourTwo’s listing of the very best Premier League defenders of all time, tells Stewart after mercifully halting his impromptu Carra-oke. “I do know” deadpans, Stewart. He does look incredible – feathered hair, fur coat and a glance in his eye that implies he hasn’t been to mattress for some time and has little intention of doing so for some time but.
Sir Rod is 80 now and possibly wants no reminder, however Peter Schmeichel begins the interview by stating it. As Rod fields his first reply, Celtic’s PA system booms into motion “SHAAAAT UP!” shouts again Rod in mock annoyance.

Again within the studio, they erupt in loud laughter. Those that watch CBS’ protection of the Champions League on Paramount+, or catch clips on social media, know that enjoyable is a theme of their present. They don’t take the evaluation, or themselves, too significantly and their broadcasts are a breath of recent air from conventional soccer punditry that we have sadly grown accustomed to.
Schmeichel performs the straight man and continues his scripted line of questioning: “What makes Celtic such a particular membership?” he asks Stewart.
