Legends & Supporters | Celtic's first match

From the Summer edition of the Celtic View from 1972.

Dan Drake is astonishingly one of the greatest Celtic supporters having witnessed the club literally at its inception and saw the club all the way through its highs & lows over most of the 20th Century.

He was from Maryhill and was a well known active Irish Home Ruler in the West of Scotland even after Home Rule was overshadowed by the events of the early 1920s.

Dan Drake really did see it all, and below is an interesting interview with one of of our greats on the terraces.
