In The Bould Bhoys! “Glory to their name,” we follow the exploits of a wonderful early Celtic team in their attempt to win the Scottish League for the first time, with joy, controversy and intrigue every step of the way.
Author Matthew Marr brilliantly tells the story of our early Celtic heroes in the summer of 1892, The fledgling club from Glasgow’s east end, established for the most noble of reasons, has won the prestigious Scottish Cup against all odds, beating the established order of the day, notably nine-time winners Queen’s Park. But there is unfinished business for The Bould Bhoys…
A new, season-long competition is up for grabs, the Scottish League Championship, viewed by many observers as a better test than the briefer knockout cup competitions to determine who is ‘the best in Scotland.’
What a cast of characters. Dan Doyle. Willie Maley. James Kelly. Johnny Madden. Sandy McMahon. Celts who thrilled our forefathers – “Glory to their name.”
The story of that season will now thrill you, as we reach the 130th anniversary of these events this spring. Matthew will walk you through each twist and turn as it occurs, bringing the heroes to life and placing you at every match as Celtic strive to succeed back-to-back Scottish champions Dumbarton as the team at the top of the League, looking down on the others. The more things change…
