Photo Of The Day: Celtic Squad 100 Years Ago

Today’s photo of the day rewinds a century to the Celtic squad picture ahead of the 1922/23 season. The image features a number of club legends and Scottish football icons such as Alec McNair, Patsy Gallacher, Willie McStay, Charlie Shaw, Andy McAtee, Adam McLean, Willie Cringan and Joe Cassidy.

That star studded Celtic team finished third in Scottish Division One and went on to lift the Scottish Cup with a 1-0 win over Hibernian in March 1923 (Cassidy scored the goal).

It would be fantastic if Celtic could replicate that Scottish Cup triumph 100 years on – with a Premier Sports Cup and League title added along with it!

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.
