Celtic at 137 - Birthday Bhoys

Hail Hail History and Andrew H discuss the role of faith charity & politics in the Celtic formation story
2

This podcast is released on the 137th birthday of the hoops. The basic elements of our formation are known by all fans…or are they?

A club formed for the dinner tables of the porr of the East End, everyone knows that charity was at the core of our creation but the part played in this story by Brother Walfrid (an Irish Marist Brother) and John Glass (prominent in Scotland’s Irish community circles, including those with Irish home rule political allegiances) has led to some debate among fans as to whether religion and/or politics were equally motivating among the founding fathers.

Andrew and Matthew of

chat through all aspects of the history of our formation and its impact on other Scottish/Irish clubs.

Enjoy…

To celebrate our 137th birthday, this is a free podacast available to all. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
