Video: God Bless The Gallowgate

Following on from our article about the Gallowgate’s historic Celtic connection and the addition that the bars in that area have made to the matchday experience and Celtic supporting culture, we felt it appropriate to reference this song by Charlie and the Bhoys, which pays tribute to a number of establishments and the Gallowgate area itself.

We all long for the day that we can get back to supporting Celtic in the flesh, not just the 90 minutes in the stadium, but the full day out in the pubs, on the buses, with the songs playing and then onto Paradise.

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.
