Nowadays it's easy to listen to Celtic songs between streaming music, CDs and sites like YouTube.

But in the past it was harder to do so. In the 1990s, various CDs were released with famous @CelticFC songs.

This thread looks at some of those CDs.

The first CD release in the 1990s available in the @CelticFC shops (that I remember) was 'The Celtic Songs EP'.

Released in 1994, it featured four songs:

The Celtic Song
The Johnny Thompson Song
The Fields of Athenry
You'll Never Walk Alone

This CD was followed in 1995 by 'The 2nd Celtic Songs EP'.

This had the @CelticFC first team from different years (1964, 1970, 1977) singing songs:

Over and Over
Celtic are here
Celtic, Celtic

Jimmy Johnstone also sang 'Passing Time'.
