Are Celtic a Scottish or an Irish Club (poll)

Last updated : 06 October 2006 By Jack Kennedy
An old topic this one but one that hasn't had a definitive answer.


I was in the Celtic supporters club in London road after the recent Rangers game and met a couple of Irish Lads. We had a great time but and I wasn't really surprised to find out that they saw Celtic as an Irish club, however I was surprised by the amount of passion they had for promoting Celtic FC as Irish.

In truth I was slightly taken aback at the seriousness of their conviction and although I know a lot of people think this way I never actually realised just how passionate some people get over this issue.

My personal view is that Celtic are a Scottish club with proud Irish rooots and the last thing I would want is for them to be seen as Irish. I Love seeing the Irish flags at the games and fully understand that with the Saltire being blue we aren't going to see too many of those around.

Because of the amount of hits we get on our webpage and the fact that many of our readers are outwith Europe we feel that we are in a good position to once and for all settle the case. Please take a minute to click on our poll question which you can access on our messageboard
