Author Alasdair Munn

Alasdair Munn has followed Celtic through thick and thin since his father first took him to Parkhead as a young boy growing up in Stirling. That early experience shaped a lifelong devotion to the club and a genuine curiosity about the stories, characters, and moments that have defined Celtic across the decades. He brings that long-view perspective to everything he writes, believing the history of the club is just as important as whatever is happening on the pitch this weekend. His writing tends to focus on the deeper currents running through Celtic life: the cultural identity of the support, the significance of the club within the broader Scottish and Irish diaspora story, and the way football intersects with community. He has a particular fondness for the less-told tales, the players who never quite made the headlines, the matches that deserve to be remembered, and the supporters whose loyalty kept the club standing during difficult years. When he is not writing or watching football, Alasdair can usually be found walking the hills of Central Scotland, arguing about music, or reading history that has absolutely nothing to do with football. He contributes to The Celtic Star because he believes the club deserves writing that respects both its past and its supporters.
