The Phrase "Tims" and "Hoops"

I see this around alot of the Celtic FC sites. is Tims an Abbreviation for something? Also I see the word Hoops alot, is this just other names for the club? What Significance do these names hold?

 

Mate Tim is short for Timoloy it's just a nickname for Celtic Fans i.e we are Tims,... The Hoops is a Nickname for The Celtic Team cause of our Main football shirt we play in is green and white horizontal stripes or hoops ok mate..

 

Thanks for the tip CelticLover.

C'MON THE HOOPS! lol

 

incorrect..

Tim is short for "Tim Malloys" - a group of catholic gangs in glasgow in the 1900's.

also Timothy would be classified as a catholic name.. (Tadhg is irish for Timothy)

 

That's what I meant Fox I just typed it slang chill.

 

Sorry to pull you up on another inaccurracy, we actually play in horizontal green and white bands to create hoops.
Don't want PAcelticfan to buy a Betis top by mistake
