If You Know The History

Last updated : 03 May 2007 By MonTheHoops
That's a key line from Celtic FC's official Mission Statement and if you know the history - you'll know that the founders of this club chose the name Celtic deliberately to reflect the clubs dual Scottish/Irish identity.

That then explains why Celtic fans fly the Tricolour (plus it matches our club's colours)and they're right to do so, but what about our Scottish identity?

How often do we see Scottish flags and regalia at Celtic Park? Probably not enough, so this is a rallying call to anyone who's interested, let's see more Scotland flags at Celtic games and hey, if you've got a problem carrying a blue and white flag, carry a green and white Saltire instead.
