    ...Celtic Football Club was born. A cause, a community, our passion.

    To think a charity and club formed on 6th November 1887 in St. Mary's church hall by the great Brother Walfrid would go on to become one of the most famous football clubs in history. From our very 1st game beating the huns in 1888, to this day, Celtic has been so special. Without Celtic, life for us would be unbearable..

    What better way to cap of our anniversary with a win over Motherwell today, Mon' the Hoops best thread ever :celt_2:

    Happy birthday Celtic! <3 :celt_2::shamrock:
    Anyone think one of the jerseys next season will be a tribute to 125 years, similar to the jersey we have a few years ago about the anniversary of 1967?

    Celtic Football Club was formally constituted at a meeting in St. Mary's church hall in East Rose Street (now Forbes Street), Calton, Glasgow, by Irish Marist Brother Walfrid<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"> </sup>on 6 November 1887, with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the East End of Glasgow by raising money for the charity Walfrid had instituted, the Poor Children's Dinner Table.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"></sup>
    Walfrid's move to establish the club as a means of fund-raising was largely inspired by the example of Hibernian who were formed out of the immigrant Irish population a few years earlier in Edinburgh. Walfrid's own suggestion of the name 'Celtic' (pronounced Seltik), was intended to reflect the club's Irish and Scottish roots, and was adopted at the same meeting.
    The club has the official nickname, "The Bhoys". However, according to the Celtic press office, the newly established club was known to many as "the bold boys". A postcard from the early 20th century that pictured the team, and read "The Bould Bhoys", is the first known example of the unique spelling. The extra 'h' imitates the spelling system of Gaelic, where the letter B is often accompanied by the letter H.
    On 28 May 1888, Celtic played their first official match against Rangers and won 5–2 in what was described as a "friendly encounter". Neil McCallum scored Celtic's first ever goal. The squad that played that day was largely composed of players signed from Hibernian. The derby between the two rivals became inescapably linked with the slogan: the Old Firm - sometimes taken to refer to the reference "old firm friends".

    Celtic's first kit consisted of a white shirt with a green collar, black shorts, and emerald green socks. The original club crest was a simple green cross on a red oval background.
    While Brother Walfrid had only charitable motives for the club, others saw huge financial potential. John Glass, a Scottish builder with Donegal family connections and Pat Welsh, a tailor who had left Ireland 20 years previously, observed the coming of professionalism in England in 1885 and correctly assumed that Scotland would follow

    What a club. I grew up during the Di Canio, Pier and Cadete days, but I truly fell in love with football when watching the team(s) that followed. First memorable match for me was in 97 against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup. I was ten years old at the time and the Celtic fever really fell in then.

    And we didn't even progress! We were knocked out...and it doesn't dampen your enthusiasm. For you know, the good days are never far away. And surely they were, and I was full of glee whenever the next time we faced Liverpool under MON, we knocked the * out! That Hartson goal will never die in my memory.

    What a night. What an occasion of delight. It took a local man from my land to lead us to several historic victories, then, and I'm absolutely certain another from my neck of the woods will help continue the great Celtic tradition.

    Hail hail!
