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.

Follow the story of Celtic Football Club through a book of authentic newspaper articles and reports dating back to 1925. This edition charts the club’s history exactly as it was reported at the time.
