I need to know when James Young served his suspension in 1905. Did he play Celtic's match on 28th October 1905 is my main query? Hopefully someone with access to line ups will put me out of my misery. Cheers.

A great player and very enlightened man who represents all that is positive about the much maligned West of Scotland culture. Wish there were more like him around these days. Celtic's success has always stemmed from embracing all strands of Scottish society.

Does anyone know anything about Willie Murdoch who played with Celtic as a Goalkeeper in the early 1960s. He later played for Queens Park, Motherwell, and Forres Mechanics in the Highland League, and was capped for Amateur Scotland on several occasions while at the 3 previously mentioned clubs. In later life he became an actor and died in 2011 at 69. There is no mention of him in The Celtic Wiki as having played in the first team, or not having played in the first team at all.

There was a Murdoch in goal for the Reserve League fixture at Celtic Park v Kilmarnock on 23 October 1965 in a 2-3 defeat.

Are you sure you that you have got the title of the trophy correct?
I always believed it to be The Daily Express 5-a-side trophy.
I was there the night they won it and remember Charlie Nicholas had a marvellous evening.

Actually this says, Daily Express and there's a programme picture too, so looks like DAily Express could be right.

BUT i think above could be wrong.
see also:

There are some entries in the Players A-Z which state that the player was signed from 'Blairhill Colliery'. In my opinion this should be Blairhall Colliery, a Junior club from West Fife which seems to have acted as a nursery for Celtic in the late 1930s. These errors don't come from any of the contributors to the Celtic Wiki, but date back many years, both in print and online.
In addition to the players listed as such, there may be others signed provisionally from, or farmed out to, Blairhall Colliery who were never called up or who never appeared in the first team.

I was there. The turning point was probably when Kai Johansen (who had scored the only goal of the 1966 Cup Final in which I thought Bertie Auld had his best game for Celtic) hit a penalty against a post and instinctively kicked the rebound. Referee Tiny Wharton rightly whistled up for a foul, as the ball must be touched by another player before the penalty-taker can do so again. This game was on the same night as the final episode of the black-and-white TV series The Fugitive (David Janssen) was broadcast. In the days before video recorders etc, so spectators missed the tv finale.

Yes it was listed on the web site at the time of screening: wee bit of paranoia for you. Each week MM has a round of the week and my Celtic round didn't qualify but my General Knowledge did. It was never posted so I contacted the BBC to find out why. Turns out that they had "technical problems" which prevented them from posting it. "This is the only week it happened so I too have had a BBC Lens Cap Moment" just like the 7-1 Cup Final. Today's result will be another band at Hampden for the final. Last Year it was Maroon 5 and this year it will be Green Day

I've been perplexed about this one and have made an entry on the celtic Graves site.
Firstly the roof fall at GREENRIG pit is not traceable on the date noted - either through the Scottish Mining Archives or through the newspaper archives. There IS a mention of a RUSSELL killed in a pit suffocation in a Fauldhouse pit but from a different year.
Now the newspaper archive to the death on the 8 November 1952 at Fauldhouse is very definite and in more than one entry.
I am inclined to think thatb thwere has been some wrong archiving here and there is a cross-link. I think the 1952 date is probably correct and that the mine collapse and crush is wrong as I cannot trace it at all.

The article about Jimmy notes the few Scottish caps awarded to him and avoids commenting on this. Well, as someone who viewed Jimmy as possibly the best Scottish football player in the Seventies, I have long felt that his restricted selection for the Scotland team was influenced by sectarian feeling in the selectors and in the West of Scotland generally. A special problem for me, festering for 39 years, was Jimmy's non-selection at the German World Cup, 1974, after a master class against England a month before. The team we had then, with the addition of Jimmy Johnstone, could have progressed to the next round and given us what we do not have now - happy memories of that or any other World Cup. The bigoted selectors and (team manager?) deprived the nation of the exhilaration and joy of progress in a major tournament. It left us as a minor player in World football, the country that created the modern game. Is it to late to prosecute?
Finally, most Scots do not realise that Scotland, particularly Glasgow, developed the way that football was played and how it became a spectacle watched by thousands in stadiums created by a Scottish architect, Archibald Leitch. The SFA History story at Hampden Park does not do justice to Scotland as the 'Home of Football', despite what other nations may say!

My memories of the match itself are very faded by now but I recall Jinky putting on a great display that day. The Cork hibs captain was Dave Bacuzzi ,who was also their manager. The match officials were, from the left,Eddie Mullins(linesman) Derry Barrett (ref) A.N. Other (linesman).

I have a full colour card, 4in X 6in, with Billy McNeil kissing the European Cup . The card also has a short Bio on him. Caps , medals, year and place of birth etc. I believe it was made around 1970 or so. It is one from a set of 16 I think from the Shoot Magazine. I have 7 others. Bobby Charlton, Colin Stein, Francis Lee, Terry Neil, Gordon West, Alan Mullery and Ron Davis. I am writing here because the Billy McNeil card seems to attract the most attention, likely because of the pose with the European Cup as ne Captained the first UK club to win it. Any one shed any light on these cards.

Hi mate
For discussions on Celtic related issues, it's best to go to the forums, There you will get more contributors and banter.
e.g. kerrydalestreet, celticminded, green brigade forum, huddleboard etc.
This site is best left for the wiki stuff.

Hi Guys
The general consensus of opinion appears to be that Jimmy Quinn's last game for Celtic was on 30 January 1915 v Hearts. I've just come across a match report of a friendly Celtic v Glentoran on 13 March 1915. Quinn scored in 3-0 win for bhoys.

Just posted a photo of Gerry Gillan on the general photos page. Gerry started out at St Anthony's (1962/63) and was a Celtic player for two seasons (1963/64 and 1964/65). At the Ants he was nominally an inside-right, but seems to have played most of the important matches on the left wing. After being released by Celtic in April 1965 he joined Ashfield. Details of his later career are sketchy, but he had a second spell at St Anthony's, played one game for Hamilton Accies in 1970/71 (as a trialist?) and may have ended up at Yoker Athletic. If anyone has any memories of this player's spell at Celtic Park, or can fill in any gaps in his career, please add to this thread...

Trying to get details of an old firm match played around late sixties on a Friday night. I think it may have been Glasgow Cup or a key reserve match. I recall it was raining and there were plenty goals. I believe it was not a league match and was played on a Friday due to fixture congestion. Can anyone help please?
