SuperHoop: Alan Doherty with some Celtic fans from the Big Apple
ALAN Doherty has been through more than most in his life, with a series of operations.
But there’s no happier many in life – driven on by his love of sport and all things Glasgow Celtic and Donegal.
So you could say he’s one of Jim McGuinness’s biggest fans.
He’s a very hoopy man today too after Celtic’s 4-0 win over Dundee United.
Here Alan tells us about his Donegal.
Where’s your favourite place in the county?
In Donegal my favourite place would be: Inishowen / Bundoran because of the scenery and breath taking views around.

It would have to be the pot holes and signage on some of the roads (put English translation beside the gaelige translations around the Gaeltacht)
Who is the one person in Donegal that you look up to and why?
I’d look up to Daniel O’Donnell because he has done so so much for himself and other people in the world. He takes a lot of time to help people in need. He even helped Majella too when she was going through a bad time in her life..
