Imagine you were a Chairman of a club that had won a major European Trophy and were writing your autobiography.
Further imagine that your father had played for the club, was its first campaign and also had a spell as club chairman.
Your wife is also the daughter of one of Celtic’s founders.
What would the title of the first chapter of your autobiography be?
The chapter is three pages long – a man brought up and surrounded in, steeped in, the history of his club and his most precious memory is a disallowed goal?
There are people who have said to me why can’t we match Celtic’s fanaticism in campaigns – why don’t Rangers fans stay angry for long or seek real revenge? It’s because we are normal – we actually support our football team in the main for football reasons.
We can never hope to match their lunacy. Thanks be to God.
