    Anyone who reads the Celtic View will already know about this wee article that's at the back of the magazine now.

    Basically, it's a wee page with a small Q & A to Celtic fans and what the club means to them.
    Thought it would be a good idea to post what Celtic means to you on TC.

    Here are the questions:

    1: First game?
    2: Favourite game?
    3: All time Celtic hero?
    4: One Celt I wish I could have watched live?
    5: Celtic supporting highlight?
    6: Most disappointing moment?
    7: What Celtic means to you?


    I'll post mine in the afternoon as my eyelids are slowly shutting now.
    Guess that's what I get for being up so late.

    First Game: Home against Clyde early 70's the main stand was being rebuilt at the time


    Favourite Game: 5-0 v Sporting Lisbon

    All Time Celtic Hero: Jimmy Johnstone

    One Celt I wished I'd seen live: Jimmy McGrory

    Celtic Supporting Highlight: Barcelona 0 Celtic 0 UEFA Cup a few years back, the Barcelona public and supporters were brilliant that day/night.

    Most Disappointing Moment: Any time we lose

    What Celtic Means to Me: Every emotion is possible being a Celtic supporter, highs of winning leagues etc, lows of losing to poxy European teams that we should be trouncing, happy family at the Croydon CSC, banter with local huns, there is just so much to put here.

    1: First game? Celtic v Bayern Munich 1/02/2000. A friendly called the Millennium Match. Fans were allowed in over two hours before the game and they showed a documentary on the big screns about Celtic's century. This made it a great first game. Celtic lost 2-1 if I remember correctly. my second match was two weeks later, we lost 3-1 to Inverness Caley Thistle. :54:

    2: Favourite game? 6-2 v Rangers

    3: All time Celtic hero? Henrik Larsson. I feel privileged to have grown up watching him bang them in every week.

    4: One Celt I wish I could have watched live? Jinky, just to watch his magical footwork and see him skinning defenders with ease.

    5: Celtic supporting highlight? Winning three in a row last season. The great comeback. The emotion. The dedication of it to tommy Burns. It all made me proud to be a Celtic fan. Stopping the 10 is also up there..

    6: Most disappointing moment? Losing in Seville or losing 5-0 to Artmedia Bratislava. I'll say no more.

    7: What Celtic means to you? Everything. Most of all, I love being part of the Celtic family.

    First game was against motherwell at celtic park. Pierre van hoojdoink scored on 92nd minute to record a 1 nil victory, i was just behind the net when he headed in. amazing.

    Favourite game was 6-2 victory over the gers

    All time hero has got to be King Henrik

    One celtic i wish i coulda watched live was jinky johnstone or billy mcneill

    Highlight has got to be larssons lob against the gers

    Most disappointment moment was losing the uefa cup to porto, a match we shoulda won

    What celtic means to me?? stupid question to be honest, everything!!!
