He decided to pay tribute to his beloved football club, Celtic, with the bold design.

"Getting a 'Glasgow Celtic' tattoo in Auckland to celebrate my beloved team 'You're in My Heart' @celticfc @wallerray_tattoo," he told his 1.2million followers in the caption.

Wife Penny, 52, was among the first to comment on the post. "Amazing celebration to end a great Australian / New Zealand tour," she remarked.

Rod is a renowned Celtics fan – something he has passed on to at least two of his children.

Just recently, Penny shared a throwback snapshot showing the couple’s two children together, Alastair, 17, and Aiden, 12, as little boys, both wearing the football team's signature green stripes.

Rod is a proud father of eight children – and will soon become a grandfather for the second and third time.
