Celtic’s annual celebratory Mass will be held this year at St Mary’s Church in the Calton at 12noon on Saturday, November 6 to mark the 134th anniversary of the club’s formation.
Celtic was founded from the parish of St Mary’s following a meeting in the church hall on November 6, 1887, and every year since the 125th anniversary, the club has enjoyed a celebration Mass in the church to mark the anniversary of its foundation.
This year’s Mass will be conducted by parish priest, Canon Tom White, and will be a celebration of Celtic’s long and storied history.
It’s sure to be an afternoon filled with emotion and a huge sense of pride, so we encourage supporters of all faiths and none to come along and share it with us.
Canon Tom White, parish priest of St Mary’s, said: “It’s a real pleasure to welcome back the Celtic Family to St Mary’s – the birthplace of the club.
“Numbers were restricted at last year’s Mass due to COVID-19 restrictions, so it will be great to welcome back Celtic supporters in larger numbers to celebrate this very special occasion.
“The Mass started as a celebration of 125 years of the football club, but it has now become an annual event and it is important that we continue to remember Brother Walfrid, the Founding Fathers and the community from which they hailed.”
More than 90 Minutes Editor Andrew Milne chats to Author Paddy McMenamin on the Grand Auld History Pod about Celtic in Europe and his journey following the Bhoys in Europe since 1969.
Big shout to everyone who turned up yesterday at Murphy’s Glasgow before Celtic v St. Johnstone and also on Tuesday before the Ferencvaros game. The continued support is much appreciated. We will be back next Saturday before Celtic take on Livingston with another quality line up talking all things Celtic but before then we have an Away Day to look forward to in Edinburgh against Hibs who lost on the road to Aberdeen 1-0 yesterday.
Special thanks to Liam Kelly, Scott McCorry and Rudi Vata for joining me for a chat and to our man behind the cameras David Walsh. Once we get a chance we will get both of this weeks shows out on Celtic Fanzine TV and on audio across the Celtic Soul Podcast Platforms.
Rudi Vata spoke about his time at Celtic which brought laughter and applause from the audience, his son Rocco’s progress at Celtic and the Republic of Ireland. His personal special connection with Ireland and life under Ange and where he thinks Celtic need to strengthen in January to make sure the title returns to Paradise come the end of the season.
Making his Celtic AM debut Scott McCorry could not be described as shy and had the audience smiling as he chatted with a little colourful language here and there as he described his HomeBhoys Podcast Room 1 on 1 when he chats to an opposition fan before each game home and away both in Scotland and in Europe and as a listener I have to say it is top of the pile when it comes to preview broadcasts. The Celtic support has many great characters and Scott is one of them and his research for his Podcast is second to none.
Liam Kelly on his return to Celtic AM spoke about his contribution to our great history with the books he has had published about Celtic and his fundraising contribution to the Celtic FC Foundation and for one so young I think all Celtic fans should tip their cap to the Bhoy from Bournemouth who spends hours researching Celtic’s history week in week out.
Don’t forget if you’re around Glasgow on Saturday for the Livingston match and you want to join the Celtic conversation pre-match pop into Murphy’s

Celtic AM returns on Saturday at Murphy’s Glasgow with another quality line up to talk Celtic and look back at our midweek win over Ferencvaros and look ahead to our clash with St. Johnstone followed by our midweek away day clash in Edinburgh when Celtic take on Hibs.
Joining me for a chat will be former Celtic player and Albanian Captain Rudi Vata returns to give us his take on Ange Postecoglou, his style of play and recent performances. We will also get the lowdown on his son Rocco’s progression with the Celtic B team and the Republic of Ireland under age teams. No doubt we can also get Rudi to also share some tales from his time in the Celtic dressing room.
Scott McCrory makes his Celtic AM debut. Scott is part of the HomeBhoys podcast team and his spin off show Room 101 where he previews each Celtic game with a knowledgeable fan of our match day opponents. It has become one of my favourite Celtic podcasts on my long walks with Henrik.
The podcast concentrates on Celtic’s opposition and it gives all the information you need to know about who Celtic are up against. Scott’s knowledge of Scottish and European football is impressive and his research is second to none. So it will be great to get his take on all things happening at Celtic at the moment.
Young Celtic Author and Historian, Liam Kelly makes his return to the show from sunny Bournemouth and he will bring us up to date on his latest projects and also give us his opinion on Ange’s first few months in charge.
I am looking forward to hosting the show again after the buzz of Tuesday when we had a full house hopefully we can get another good crowd into enjoy the conversation and a pre-match pint or two with like minded people. It’s a FREE event and FAMILY friendly HH

We have Paul Heaton to thank for wearing our Glasgow’s Green and White 3 Stripe T-Shirt which sold out quickly after he was pictured wearing it at one of his gigs recently. The Power of Pop I suppose. We are happy to say that the design is now back in stock and available at our online shop.
Thanks to everyone who Pre-Ordered the popular T-shirt, they arrived late on Wednesday night and we packed them off yesterday and posted them out to everyone. As expected most of them went to Glasgow but we also shipped some to Australia, Asia, North America and Europe as well with a few around the Emerald Isle and our first ever T-Shirt design is on it’s way to Jersey. I wonder if it is one of the Sunshine Tims I met many years ago on a train in Germany on our way to see Celtic knock Stuttgart out of the UEFA Cup on our way to Seville.
Great times although I still have never watched the Final back. Anyway thanks to everybody who pre-ordered there is a FREE badge with every order as a small thank you for supporting Independent Celtic Fan Media. HH

Tuesday was a strange day to kick off the return of our Celtic AM show but we would like to thank everybody who came along. It was great see a full house at Murphy’s Glasgow on a very wet lunchtime to listen to tributes and stories about Johnny Doyle on the 40th Anniversary of his death.
Frank McGarvey paid a fitting tribute to his former team mate and shared some stories from his time at Celtic while Johnny’s daughter Joanne was full of pride when she spoke about her Dad and his love for Celtic as a fan and as a player and the legacy he has left behind as the fan in the jersey who loved the Green.
Finally we have a book that tells the Celtic Daft, Johnny Doyle Story and author and editor of the Shamrock Fanzine. Paul McQuade was able to paint a visual picture for the audience of Johnny during his formative years, his love and passion for Celtic, his time at Ayr before joining Celtic and the research he carried out for the book after Erin Boyle performed a new poem about Johnny to kick off the show.
We are back in Murphy’s in the Merchant City on Saturday with another show, hopefully we can get another good crowd in to enjoy the Pre-Match show before Celtic take on St. Johnstone at 3pm. Doors 11, Kick Off 12, Final Whistle about 1:45 to allow plenty of time to get to Celtic Park to cheer on the Bhoys.

Albanian president and Celtic FC Fan Ilir Meta finally got to visit Celtic Park in Glasgow to see Celtic Football Club in the flesh. When Celtic took on Ferencvaros at Paradise and he watched the Celt run out 2-0 winners.
After the match he met with Celtic FC Fanzines, More than 90 Minutes and the Alternative View at the Central Hotel in Glasgow along with his great friend and former Celtic FC player and Albanian Captain Rudi Vata.
The President chats about why he started to follow Celtic Football Club, his relationship with his the Celtic Fans, his first experience of Celtic Park, his good friend Rudi and his son Rocco Vata who is making a name for himself in the Celtic B team and with the Republic of Ireland under age teams.

Life is returning to normal and Celtic have put together a wee winning run to increase the happiness rate among the Celtic Fanbase. Over 50,000 fans turned up at Celtic Park on a wet Tuesday afternoon.
Dublin airport was packed with Celtic Fans as 4 planes left packed with Bhoys and Ghirls on the pilgrimage to Celtic Park heading for Glasgow and Edinburgh airport. Ireland based Bhoys and Ghirls continue to back the Bhoys home and away and their dedication and effort on a weekly basis to follow Celtic is incredible.

The rebuild continues after a game we had to win.
Traffic was bumper to bumper as myself Erin and Walshy made our way in a taxi to the Central hotel to attend a questions and answers with Rudi Vata and the President of Albania, IIir Meta and we would like to thank our friend at the Alternative View and regular guest on Talk from the Terrace, Matt McGlone for arranging our interview with the president before we made the quick dash to airport to catch the last flight to Ireland out of Glasgow. We recorded to the conversation and we will get it up across our platforms later.
