The Football History of Celtic Book

CELTIC pile on the pressure with wave after wave of attack against Inter Milan’s resolute defence. Inter are pinned back, exhausted. Bobby Murdoch picks up the ball outside the box. He has been at the heart of everything — composed, commanding, tireless. He spots an opportunity, a sliver of space. He shoots … Chalmers’ flick wrong-foots the Inter keeper, and the ball hits the bottom corner of the net. The Celtic end erupts! This could be Celtic’s and Britain’s first European Cup.

This book tells the story of Celtic Football Club through authentic newspaper reports, beginning in 1925. Relive defining moments — from lifting the European Cup in 1967, to the Lisbon Lions’ nine-in-a-row era under Jock Stein, and the halting of Rangers’ bid for ten consecutive league titles in 1998. Follow the team’s journey decade by decade, told through the words of journalists who witnessed it.
