FERGUS McCANN gained control of Celtic Football Club 26 years ago today. We have already written about this on The Celtic Star this morning.
He was assisted by Tom Grant who went on to work alongside Fergus in keeping his promise to build a 60,000 all-seater stadium at Celtic Park.
Over the last week or so we have been showcasing a collection of photographs given the The Celtic Star by Tom Grant, who wanted the Celtic Support to see them. Grant worked as the project manager on the demolition of the old Celtic Park’s Jungle, Celtic End and Rangers End and was there just about every day as work took place in building the magnificent stadium we know and love today.
All that was down to the vision and the determination of one man – Fergus McCann.
We started by taking you through the work that was done in 1994 in the months after the successful take-over. Fergus wasn’t messing about and work was started amazing quickly as soon as the season was over to demolish the old stadium. These photographs from 1994 have all appeared on The Celtic Star over the last week and the links to them are below.
Then there’s yesterday’s article which is the first of three taking us through the major building stage of the new stands between early January and end April 1995. Today’s exclusive photos – courtesy of Tom Grant – are below. And we’ll provide the final batch of these building stage photos tomorrow before starting on showing you around the brand new stands as they near completion.
Here’s the complete story so far…
