As part of the #walkonweekend planning, @cfcliamk96's book, 'The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic' has been very useful.
A great guide for learning more about @CelticFC-related locations:

Even better - all profits go to @FoundationCFC.

The original Celtic Park.
@CelticFC's first game was here in May 1888 (5-2 win v Rangers).
It was north of the current ground (sign is next to the Lisbon Lions stand).
Celtic moved away in 1892 due to a big rent increase

St Mary's Church.
This is where it began for @CelticFC.
The club was officially formed on 6 November 1887 in St Mary's Church Hall.
It was set up to provide charity funds. Very apt given the ongoing work of @FoundationCFC.
