Celtic Books through the Years...

The history of Celtic is an incredible story and it is therefore perhaps not surprising that so many books have been produced about the triumphs and tragedies of the Bhoys.

From 500 page tomes covering the entire history of the club to books focusing on a single season, Celtic historians have never been short of inspiration.

This section features all those books which in some way attempt to chronicle the history of Celtic.

Biographies on players & managers (plus biography compilations) can be found at the following link.
