Only true fans have been able to endure the turbulent past 120 years of Celtic's history. Constituted in a church hall in 1887 to help alleviate the poverty of Glasgow's East End, it was just two years later that they reached the final of the Scottish Cup. But they had to wait until 1892 to take home the trophy to their new ground, Celtic Park. Their victory was the start of a legendary club, one that has now taken home close to 50 domestic and international titles. All the characters, good and evil, old and new, are here: Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Lou Macari, Fergus McCann, Kenny Dalglish, Martin O'Neill, Henrik Larsson, Gordon Strachan, and Jinky Johnstone. Of course, we shouldn't overlook some of the lesser-known figures who have contributed to shaping Celtic into the family club it is today. Graham McColl, a lifelong fan and previous author of Celtic books, is in a prime position to vividly depict the essence of this legendary club.
