This is an abbreviated extract from an old post on another forum.
Peter Martin's real name is Peter McGuire from Newarthill in Lanarkshire and he used to be the front man for the "Celtic Road Shows" that promoted the club throughout Scotland and Ireland. This was a marketing project instigated by the then Celtic PR director Paul Cooney.
It is understood that he was an ex-convener of the Carfin Hibernians CSC and he used to be chairman of a Bhoys Youth Club in Newarthill which was funded partly by his "celebrity" pals holding Q&A nights in the AOH club. This was quite a big outfit with 4 or 5 teams at various levels. They were called "The Newarthill Lions" known locally as "The Lions" and were kitted out in green and white hoops.
When Paul Cooney moved to Radio Clyde he offered McGuire a job and it is thought that he suggested he changed his name to cover his previous links. Ever since then he has used his positions on radio and in the press (the Evening Times) to promote them and denigrate us at every opportunity.
Now you know his background you can make your own mind up about his character. A mdingwall says above - An Arsehole.
