Celtic Da Weekly 5/07/24

Brought to you in association with Donegal

Hello, good evening and welcome to this week’s edition of the Celtic Da Weekly. Yes, it’s the first Friday of the month and that means it’s a Rumour Mill special. Now, for those of you who weren’t around back in those days, the Rumour Mill was a weekly pile of absolute nonsense that I made up in my head to help Celtic fans get through the last working day of the week before they all headed off to Archaos or Arta or some other nightclub that started with an “A” (“Aaah I’ve just been stabbed in the Savoy” was never recognised as the official name but I think it still counts.)

Back in those days Celtic fans knew how to treat a rumour, it was akin to a cherished gift from on high that you repeated in hushed tones as if you were admitting to something really disgusting in confession. Nowadays though there is a distinct different approach to rumours. For a start nobody seems to know what the word means.

For example, this new away top. This one right here. It’s not fact yet. But it will be. A Norwich jersey with that big rotten badge on it? Of course that’s real. But for now it's a rumour. See? It's simple.
