The past 120 years of Celtic's history have been a rollercoaster ride which only the true fans have been able to stomach. Constituted in a church hall in 1887 to help alleviate the poverty of Glasgow's East End, it was just two years later that they reached the final of the Scottish Cup. But they had to wait until 1892 to take home the trophy to their new ground Celtic Park. This was the start of a great club, and one which has now taken home close to 50 home and international titles. All the characters, good and bad, old and new, are here: Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Lou Macari, Fergus McCann, Kenny Dalglish, Martin O'Neill, Henrik Larsson, Gordon Strachan, Jinky Johnstone. And of course, not forgetting some of the less famous characters who have helped shape Celtic and make it the family club it is today. A lifelong fan and previous author of books on Celtic, Graham McColl is ideally placed to bring the character of this great club to life.
