Two great Celts remembered, Charlie Tully and Bobby Murdoch








Charlie Tully and Bobby Murdoch are remembered in song at every Celtic fixture these days and both made massive contributions to the club, in playing terms and also folklore.




John Fallon played with both men and gives us some memories of the great Celts.




A million stories surround Tully, the Belfast Bhoy who brightened up the tough times of the late fifties and early sixties.




Murdoch, from Rutherglen, was of course a member of the greatest ever Celtic side lifting the European Cup in 1967 under the inspired leadership of Jock Stein.

Hoops run riot scoring 5 at Aberdeen

What a performance from Aiden and the bhoys today as they swept to another 5-1 hammering, this time of Aberdeen.

It was 3-0 by half time before some magic from Aiden left three defenders lost as Scott McDonald headed in his 23rd goal of the season.

Twenty three goals in one season and we're only at the start of February.

The bhoys were truly on fire, pouring forward with so many options as confidence soared through the side.

Shunsuke Nakamura opened the scoring, Aiden made it 2-0 before McDonald got a double with Barry Robson scoring with his first touch as a Celtic player.

Retirement for BIG BAD JOHN

Celtic hero, big bad John Hartson, has announced his retirement from football at the age of 32 and will forever be fondly remembered by Celtic supporters for five great years in Glasgow.

Having laughably failed a medical at Rangers, the same medical passed by Seb Rosenthal and others.

John came back to haunt Rangers with a 'healthy' proportion of his 108 hoops goals against the club that turned him down.

Probably his most memorable goal came against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup at Anfield but with over 100 goals to choose from we're spoiled for choice.

International Celts on video


It's been a quiet week after the transfer window excitement of last week.

International weeks are notoriously slow.

Some of our bhoys have been out in action with Scott McDonald scoring in Melbourne while Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink did likewise for Holland against Croatia.

Over in Poland Artur Boruc saved a penalty against the Czech Republic taken by ancient striker Jan Koeller.
