"The Game Is Over, The Rebels Have Won" These words are burned into my soul, won of the most defining moments for our club in my lifetime.

Complete with commercial revnue streams available to no-one else they had then taken advantage of thefreezing out from European football of English clubs to hoover up the best of B...

This week Harry is joined by another man from Celtic's recent history, but this time it is one of the more controversial figures - former general manager Jock Brown.

Many would argue Fergus assisted that campaign by dismissing Tommy Burns and then appointing Brown along with "the ...

After 60 first team games for the Dons young Joe signed for his bhoyhood heroes and graced the hoops for 6 years. Joe returned to the Dons and appeared a fu...
