2002-03 season saw Celtic take some big scalps on their way to the UEFA cup final. The highlight for me was when Celtic defeated Liverpool at Anfield...

Some fine sunsets in Glasgow this spring.

And If You Know The History? - Tickets & Event Information - Websters Glasgow After the high of the centenary season in 1988, Celtic had been going through a bit of a sticky patch, but a rare victory over their great rivals Rangers in the cup in March 1990, was cause for optimi...

Looks good, we can look back & laugh now but the 90s were purgatory webstersglasgow.com/whats-on/eve...

'Falconer' mon ami :-) Falcone était un magistrat qui a combattu la mafia.

Correct George. They asked one Japanese American who he wanted to win the war. He replied, 'Son, I have been in America far longer than you have. If your mother fights your father, do you wish one to kill the other?'

Quite a journey ahead, enjoy every moment of it. Congratulations!

Tommy Burns recruiting an old friend for Kilmarnock FC in 1992...

Paolo Bernardo living the Vida Boa in Paris. Hopefully he's fit and back in the squad soon.

Haha No, just the poor side they had then. Killie were challenging for the title & actually won it in 1965. They were the superior side then by some distance. Then an ex miner arrived at Celtic to change all that...

Celtic fans in 1968 giving the 7 fingered salute to their city rivals; a reminder of the 1957 League Cup final when Celtic defeated Rangers 7-1.

Jimmy Johnstone made his Celtic debut on this day in 1963. An injury ravaged Celtic lost 6-0 to Kilmarnock. 5 years later they played on the same ground as European Champions and won 6-0 with Jimmy on fire.

Old Celtic Park in all it's glory for the derby match with Rangers in the 1960s...

The unmistakable Bobby Murdoch as a lad. Those who saw him play will testify that he was a magnificent footballer.

East end Park, Dunfermline in 1968 on the day Celtic won the title. Over 28,000 squeezed into the little stadium with Police estimating 20,000 more locked outside. #celticfc

#Celticfc in the USA in 1931 with the Scottish Cup. Sadly within a few moths of this picture being take, John Thomson lost his life in a tragic accident in a match with Rangers. Peter Scarff would pass in 1933 and Bert Thompson in 1937 aged just 30. Life was fickle then.

Well, the league cup final passed quietly eh? :-) For all the arguments, decisions, blood & thunder, the history books will record that Celtic won the cup. That'll do for me. #CelticFC

That Kyogo goal against Hibs was just brilliant. His control of the ball, split second timing as the keeper went down & Larsson-esque clip over him was technically perfect.

The Tories & Labour would do the same here to keep the SNP out of government. Principles have largely gone in politics.

The old Jungle terrace at Celtic park. That section of the ground gave the team tremendous backing and the occasional rocket if they weren't playing as they should.

'I've been loving you a long time, down all the years and all they days.'

NB: I now realise that is in fact Tommy McInally.

The good old days, shoddy & dangerous stadiums, smuggling in booze, aggressive cops and open terraces in the Scottish winter. But hey, we loved it :-)

One of the true greats.... and Zlatan Ibrahimović :-)

Living the dream... Luke McCowan...

Some Celtic greats in this image. 800+ goals between them and the status of Celtic legend for each of them.

The League Cup on display at Celtic Park in 1965. It looks a really driech Scottish day.
