📸 Picture from Celtic vs Hearts at Celtic Park on 25th August 2019. @marcus.macleod recalls, “It was a scorcher of a day. The type that start to feel uncomfortable in the north stand without a cloud in the sky. Celtic beat Hearts 3-1 with Callum McGregor scoring from 25 yards and Hearts scoring two own goals. One of which came from a ball in from the pictured Ajer. He played right back that day and I thought he was going to break himself with the size and speed of stride he was achieving out of his tall frame. He was up and down the wing all day like this.”

📸 Picture before Bayern Munich vs Celtic in the Champions League on the 17th October 2017. @graeme.mckay recalls “Great trip. Drove down to Munich in the morning, all day in Marienplatz, Stuart Armstrong song, pyro, Augustiner. Game was a bust, but the day was amazing.”
In 1974 KNVB commissioned photographer Rob Mieremet to take portraits of their national team players before the World Cup in Germany. The collection stunningly captured one of football history’s most iconic teams and yet it’s the portrayal of an unassuming squad member that is the most instantly striking: a freckled face framed by a curly, side parted hair and low sideburns, 27-year-old Wim Jansen (1st picture) captured for posterity as a modern version of a painting by one of the Dutch masters. Jan Rooskat from Dutch Soccer Site wrote that if Cruyff was Messi and Van Hanegem was Iniesta then Jansen was more of a Busquets: ‘Very important for the team. Always diligent. Always aware. And always timing his challenges and positioning to perfection’. Celtic fans are painfully aware of Jansen’s part in denying the club a second European Cup in 1970 (2). He made his Feyenoord debut at 18, winning 4 titles, a Dutch Cup and the UEFA Cup in 15 years there. His club photo from 1970 (3) shows him with a steely, yet friendly gaze. Although they played for opposite sides of a fierce rivalry (4) Jansen and Cruyff became close, Rooskat describing them as having an understanding beyond words on and off the pitch. Jansen played every minute in the 1974 World Cup, pictured (5) lining up beside the East German team before a second round game. Unfortunately he would foul Bernd Hölzenbein (6) to concede the penalty Paul Breitner equalised from in the final. Jansen was also a key part of the team during the 1978 World Cup, playing at right-back against Argentina in the final. The following year he faced 18-year-old Diego Maradona (7) in one of his last international games. In 1980 Jansen left Feyenoord to play with Cruyff for the Washington Diplomats in the NASL (8). Cruyff then persuaded Jansen to join him at Ajax to help guide a new generation of talented players, including Frank Rijkaard (9) One of the first players to represent both Ajax and Feyenoord, Jansen returned to De Kuip as an away player with Ajax in December 1980 (10) and was hit by a snowball, damaging his eye. He retired from playing in 1982 after winning the Eredivisie with Ajax.
And those who inherit their name and their spirit Will march 'neath the banners of liberty then: All who love foreign law - native or Sassanach. Must out and make way for the Bold Fenian Men! 🍀✊🏻
Paul Elliot came to Celtic in 1989 and stayed till 1991. He was a classy and sophisticated central defender that won Scottish player of the year in his time here. A short stay but performances that bring evocative images to the fore, images that have lasted a lifetime. A player that was far ahead of his time and that would be plying his trade at the highest level in the modern game. This picture highlights two shining lights in a haze of painful memories
Read the roll of honour for our Irish Brigade 🇮🇪 It started with a Marist brother from Sligo called Andrew Kerins. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 🍀✊🏻
Next season pivots to something completely different if we appoint an exciting, progressive coach that will bring their own distinct style and identity. Someone the entire support can get behind. That doesn’t guarantee success but it absolutely gives us a fighting chance.
