John Traynor is a Celtic author and poet, whose latest book (A Paradise Anthology) raises funds for Celtic FC Foundation. One of the poems included within A Paradise Anthology pays tribute to Bertie Auld. Today, John has uploaded a musical rendition of that ballad in memory of the great man. It is poignant timing as Bertie was laid to rest this afternoon.
Felt compelled to get a quick recording of this today. Rest in Peace Bertie. #bertieauld #CelticFC https://t.co/1K79vuksb0

The reading is well worth a listen, a fine tribute to a club legend; whilst the book is a worthy addition to the library of Celtic publications.
“A Paradise Anthology” is a series of snapshots in time across the broad sweep of 133 years of the history of #celticfc in the form of poetry song and verse. Net proceeds donated to @foundationcfc
