Our Bright and Shining Star

Our Bright and Shining Star Dr Davidson had seen much during his time at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow. The city was home to a million people and the inter war years saw unemployment, hardship and illness increase. Each day brought its quota of injured souls into the hospital and he did his best for each and every one of them. That clear September day saw the two biggest football clubs in the land playing at Ibrox Stadium and on such occasions the Glasgow hospitals were kept busy. What Dr Da

Seven days in May

Seven days in May 10th May 2026 ‘Nawww!’ roared Barry as Chermiti’s blocked shot spun into the path of the onrushing Mikey Moore who had the easy job of clipping it into the net. ‘Whit did I say? Don’t lose and early goal and we’ll pump this mob!’ Sniper, normally the most confident of the three pals, shook his head. ‘That defence couldnae keep weans oot a close. Trusty is getting rag-dolled by that big, lanky plank of wid. Ye better hope the attack are on it or were winning fuck all title this

If you know your history

If you know your history Back in the year 1830, an Irish bare-knuckle boxer by the name of Simon Byrne fought a Glasgow man called Alexander McKay. The bout took place in England and was, even by the standards of the time, a brutal affair. The two fighters slugged it out for 47 bloody rounds until McKay was felled by a punch to the throat. Alas, the poor man died from his injuries the following day. When news of McKay’s death reached Scotland, there was a simmering anger in some circles which fo

Brass money and wooden shoes

Brass money and wooden shoes A good friend of mine took a trip to Donegal a week or so back and found the place retained that windswept beauty which makes it a popular destination for tourists as well as those with family connections there. The trip home on the ferry wasn’t quite as relaxing though as many of the passengers were orange folk making their way to Scotland for the annual parade in Glasgow. We’re often told that the order is a fraternal organisation which celebrates the religious and

The Dominant Underdog

The Dominant Underdog The first Celtic history conference was held at Celtic Park this weekend and it was both educational and enjoyable. A full house turned up to listen to diverse and interesting speakers give their take on different aspects of Celtic’s history and how that history was shaped by the social, cultural and political context of the times. Dr Joe Bradley, academic, author and editor of the ‘Celtic Minded’ series of books gave the keynote speech and emphasised the pivotal role of An

The burden of proof

The burden of proof The furore over Celtic winning the SPFL again tells you much about prevailing attitudes towards the dominant club in Scottish football. I get it that most folk outside the Celtic support and maybe Hibs, wanted Hearts to win the title but some of the narratives being spun about the match at Celtic Park were so blatantly fictious they could have been written by JK Rowling. There were claims of ‘assaults’ on Hearts players which TV pictures and thousands of video phones failed t

Fight it out till the end

Fight it out till the end Watching Celtic this season has been a fairly traumatic experience for their supporters. The free-flowing football of the Postecoglou years and the ruthless efficiency of Rodgers time in charge gave way to stuttering and unconvincing performances at times this season. The decline in goals scored by the club in the SPFL from 112 last season to 70 this season (with one game to go) represents a 38% reduction. Goals conceded climbed from 26 to 40- a 35% rise. Few teams wi

Roar Back

Roar Back Our cousins in Canada have an adage to help you know what to do in the event of running into a bear. It goes; ‘If it’s black- roar back, if it’s brown- sit down, but if it’s white- good night.’ That thought came to me as I considered Celtic’s demand that Rangers don’t sell any of their allocation of tickets to the final derby of the season to their own particular band of unruly bears. When you consider the long and fairly serious list of misdemeanours the Union Bears have involved them

Setting afloat the Celtic

Setting afloat the Celtic He crossed the empty hall with deliberate purpose, each measured footfall striking the boards and returning to him in a hollow echo. For now, it was a cavern of stillness, a place suspended between intent and uproar; but he knew well that within the hour it would swell with bodies and cigarette smoke, with persuasion sharpened into argument, with the restless friction of men convinced they were right. Hibernian and Dundee Harp had demonstrated that they could attract a

Be Worthy

Be Worthy Only twice in my life have I felt in real danger at a football match. One was in Nottingham in the 1980s during Celtic’s UEFA cup tie with Nottingham Forest. The other was when I was leaving Hampden Park after a cup final at the old stadium. Things got so dangerous on the crumbling old stairway at the back of the Celtic end that I opted to slide down the muddy hill at the side of the stairway. I got home wet and muddy but it was worth it to get away from the crush on the stairway. On b

Sectarian Trash

My old man told me once that in his youth he attended a Celtic v Rangers game that was among the most subdued ever. It took place in 1952 and came on the same day as the Celtic side and a good few of the Rangers team, attended the funeral of John ‘Jackie’ Millsopp. The young Celt was just 22 and breaking into the side when a burst appendix took his life. He was, by all accounts, a lovely young man and his death hit his team mates hard. Sean Fallon said in his biography; “I had got to know him we

A load of balls

A load of balls Back in 1994 I attended the League Cup Final between Celtic and Raith Rovers. It was a match Celtic could have and should have won, but fate degreed otherwise and it came down to a penalty shoot out which Celtic lost. The decisive penalty miss came from one Paul Michael Lyons McStay. The guy is Celtic to his core and that miss hurt him as much as any of the watching Celtic fans. Three days later we trundled along the M8 to play Hibs and the Celtic support sang McStay’s name and h

The Year of the Ox

The Year of the Ox Watching Alex Oxlade Chamberlain curl home that exquisite winning goal against Livingston this week, made me think that this gifted footballer might just be a difference maker as the season reaches the decisive phase. Celtic have struggled at times to deal with teams who park the bus and utilise a low block to frustrate them. The art of shooting from the edge of the box seemed to have been somewhat forgotten this season as the antidote to packed defences. The powerful Englishm

Boys Keep Swinging

Boys Keep Swinging Glasgow, May 1979 Mick McGee pushed open the bar door and gazed through the haze of smoke. A group of young lads were crowding around the new jukebox as if it was some magical apparatus. The dulcet tones of Debbie Harry could be heard singing ‘heart of glass’ above the hum of chatter and laughter. A voice called to him, ‘O’er here, Micky boy. Don’t staun there like a spare prick at a wedding.’ Mick eased through the busy bar and playfully slapped his long-time friend Gaz, on t

A winter’s tale

A winter’s tale Celtic’s reaction to the club’s latest defeat was swift and decisive. Wilfried Nancy became the manager with the shortest reign in Celtic’s 138-year history after being sacked after just 33 days in charge. It was brutal and there were mitigating circumstances surrounding his appalling 25%-win rate. Important players were injured, those who were fit struggled to adapt to his system of play and Celtic’s forwards squandered at least 20 great chances in Nancy’s 8 game tenure. The fin
