Yesterday in History
 |
| 125 years... and still going strong |
| It was 125 years ago this very day on November 6, 1887 that Celtic Football Club was born. A meeting in the church hall of St Mary’s parish in the Calton established the club, and while those present would have harboured well-intentioned ambitions for the new sporting organisation, none of them could ever have imagined that Celtic would go on to become one of the most famous names in world football. Now, 125 years later, Celtic remain an important presence in the East End of Glasgow. The club has gone from strength to strength while remaining true to its roots. It is no idle boast to say that it is ‘more than a club’. And in celebrating the proud and unique history of a club that has, from its inception, always been open to everyone regardless of race, creed or colour, we are reminded of the vision of those men back in 1887 and are proud of everything that has been achieved by the club down through the years. |
***************************************** I wonder what happens to them in the so you think you've go troubles, universe. Again with no Irish famine. No Celtic FC |

The Devotional revolution ( This is the change in Irish religious practice after the famine, in which the Irish become very observant ultra montane catholics) meets the Irish revolution

An article in the Journal explains more

I wonder if Dan Breen,
