Speaking about the show, former Celtic captain, Tom Boyd said: “This show just epitomises how Celtic was started. It takes us through all the generations, highlights the emotions that come with so many things and proves that we are much bigger than a football club. An absolutely astonishing show.”

While Tosh McKinlay added: “This took me right back to my Granddad’s days when he said no one could lace Jimmy McGrory’s boots, which they talked about in the show tonight, so that was absolutely fantastic. It took us right through the years, right through our years – an amazing show”.

Starring the likes of Martin Quinn, David Mackay and Kathleen McDermott, the large-scale theatre production - which charts the unique history of Celtic Football Club through the eyes of an Irish immigrant family in living in Glasgow - was also a smash hit with fans, who took to their feet to give the cast an emotional standing ovation.

And one Celtic fan who attended the show said: “When you are at a show called The Celtic Story, it’s hard not to think of your own Celtic story. Every time one of those games happened or one of these moments happened it was with people you loved or people who are not here anymore, so it’s a really emotional and uplifting show.”

Don’t miss the chance to see if for yourself, with tickets on sale now for The Celtic Story which runs until September 16 at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo.
