Ciaran Kenny is social worker and a Celtic fan. A very busy man with work, Celtic and volunteering in the community he still finds time to write a column in More than 90 Minutes and contributes to this website. Ciaran was my guest today on the Celtic Soul Podcast
After a bad week for Celtic and some over the top reactions on social media and new fan media, it was good to hear a more leveled opinion about the current situation.
Ciaran takes listeners back to how he began a lifelong affair with travelling to see Celtic which would lead to a love affair on and of the park. It was great to hear about all the characters on buses and boats on the way to Celtic Park over many years.
His Dad, Tighe took him to his first game in Glasgow on the Naomh Padraig CSC back in the early 1990 and he now runs the bus on the famous NP Chariot where live long friendships have been made.
