Matthew Marr signing the pre-ordered copies of his new book
I'm a Garngad Bhoy through and through. My first ever Celtic game was a friendly against Italian side Parma at Celtic Park, in 2002. Currently a student of English Literature and Education at the University of Strathclyde for my sins. Favourite game would be a toss up between beating Manchester United with that Naka freekick, or the game against the Oldco when Hesselink scored in the dying seconds. I'm still convinced Cal Mac is wasted playing that far back.
Don’t get all this misty eyed reminiscing about balde in his 2nd game for us I said to my m8 get rid of him now he will cost us big time fast forward to Seville and one of the most costly sendings off in our history in that heat plus extra time he sadly proved me right.
