A fascinating insight into @CelticFC supporters' clubs in the past.

These are the 1960s membership rules for the @DundeeCeltic Travel Club (likely similar to when it was formed in 1948).

Very strange seeing rules against women members.

1/7

@csasocialclub #celtic #celticfc
The rules are the same type you'd find in any private members' club at the time.

As member of the @csasocialclub, they would likely have been repeated by other @CelticFC supporters' clubs.

This includes a commitment to be non-political and non-sectarian.

2/7

#celtic #celticfc
Other rules describe disciplinary and general membership procedures, or outline the process of electing office bearers.

3/7

#celtic #celticfc
There are again more bureaucratic rules, including how meetings are to be called.

There are also rules about how @CelticFC supporters' club finances are to be organised.

4/7

#celtic #celticfc
And yet more bureaucratic rules concerning meetings and votes for @CelticFC supporters' clubs.

5/7

#celtic #celticfc
These sections outline the expectations of members, including behaviour, etc.

There is also provision for sorting out arguments between members and the committee.

They're perhaps still needed in modern @CelticFC supporters' clubs!

6/7

#celtic #celticfc
The final part is perhaps most interesting.

It includes a specific rule that women cannot travel on this @CelticFC supporters' bus, except with committee approval.

Clearly very changed days!

7/7

One unusual @CelticFC history story features the circus.

In 1893 it was advertised that a team of "past & present" Celtic players would participate in a tour of Scotland as part of @CircusGinnett shows.

They would play 6-a-side games versus local teams.

There is some dubiety about these claims.

Certainly some people involved had played for @CelticFC but many hadn't.

It's unlikely Celtic even knew about this, even if all circus adverts said it was an official team. Nowadays litigation would stop such claims!

2/9

#celticfc
The only notable former @CelticFC player to be involved was the circus team captain, "General McLaren".

James (Jimmy) McClaren played for Celtic in the 1880s/1890s. His nickname was the "Ould Gineral (or General)".

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:

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.

#celtic #celticfc #celticsongs
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

#celtic #celticfc #celticsongs
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'.
