Definition
Someone who is 'Celtic Minded' is one who understands, embraces and then does their hardest to assist the club to emulate its past achievements and traditions.
In everyday terms, it is a person who understands the ethos and charity of the club and chooses to practices the ideas to the benefit of the common person above any imposing and self-serving establishment.
Decency, respect and one who is faithful through & through.
Since the debacles of the now defunct Rangers FC in 2012, the whole issue of what 'Celtic Minded' is in practise has been heavily tested, and the lines between ourselves and any adversaries is now more clearly demarked than ever before.
'Celtic Minded' means also to achieve off your own efforsts, with fairness, dignity and correctness an important element to our success.
Misleading, cheating and deceit are of no value to Celtic, and a tainted title has no worth or respect gained.
To be 'Celtic Minded', a person must be one who pushes for fairness and sportsmanship, as Jock Stein was to put it:
"...But we don't just want to win this cup, we want to do it playing good football – to make neutrals glad we've won it, glad to remember how we did it."
