YESTERDAY David Potter was The Celtic Star’s Quizmaster and the club historian started by asking twenty questions relating to Celtic in the 21st Century.
How many did you get right? Yesterday’s questions with answers are at the bottom of this article after today’s quiz which covers Celtic in the period 1980-1999. As we got so many emails yesterday from readers looking for the answers, we’ve changed the way we’re doing it today. We have the questions below for you to answer then when you’ve done that you can turn to the next page to get the answers. No cheating, we’ll leave that sort of behaviour to our skint neighbours over in Govan! Seeya Dodgy Dave!
And we’ve also reposted yesterday’s quiz in the same format ie the questions on the third page of this article followed by the questions with answers on the fourth and final page.
