Celtic face Heart of Midlothian at Paradise in the club’s next fixture and today’s photo of the day revisits a meeting between the pair in February 1984. On that occasion, Celtic won 4-1 and Brian McClair bagged a hat trick. However, the focus of our image is the matchday programme… which was available for just 30 pence!
Hearts up next. Anyone got 30p for a programme? pic.twitter.com/ZHXGgHTaNz

That’s just 99p in today’s money!
Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
