Hello Celtic FC Supporters!!!! They call me Don and I am a new supporter from the United States. I reside in beautiful South Carolina and wish to learn more about Celtic FC. My mothers family is of Scottish and Irish descent and my father is of Irish descent. I am fairly new to soccer too. I used to be all about the NASCAR, NFL and NBA and always joked about soccer until recently. This is until I started playing soccer for a local team and started enjoying it. Shortly after I saw the MLS All Star game with Celtic FC and it set me on the trip of the lifetime to become a supporter. I purchased a Celtic FC jersey with my name on it and a supporter scarf so far. I dont know much about Celtic FC or computers tried looking it up but dont know where to look! So if you would mind I would like you to tell me facts about Celtic FC. I really know so little so anything you say will aid me on becoming a true supporter of Celtic FC.

And welcome to the site :50: -
Thank you True-Tim. I have begun to understand that fact as well. I should clarify what I want. Can someone explain to me the roster we have now and our history with championships and some great players from the history. Perhaps some songs you sing. All I know is You will never walk alone.
