The History of Celtic Match Programmes
 
As I mentioned on issuing the First Edition of my cd rom in August 2002 errors by me were always going to happen. I proof read until my eyes were square, but as I was warned , you will never notice them all, others will.

Thanks to those who did offer this assistance. Also collectors who added information and let me know about other programmes my research had failed to uncover.

To save you going through each edition looking for new information or corrections, I plan to list them on this page as a cross reference. Below are the additions, amendments and corrections of note. I have deleted a few of the minor earlier ones that were listed up to edition 4.

 
1.   New programme 68/9 22nd Feb 1969 Dundee v Celtic , First Div - postponed. Seems to be a rare issue.
     
2.   51/52 season , images from 10/10/51 Morton v Celtic League Match now included.
     
3.   12/10/89 Scottish Youth Cup , Clydebank v Celtic, now thought to be non issue.
     
4.   3/4/70 Reserve League , Motherwell v Celtic, an unusual issue. The programme is for Motherwell v Hibernian (1/4/70). Programme cover also lists the reserve game, showing it is intended to be a joint issue programme.
     
5.   15/4/50 Clyde v Celtic, initially I had this as a non issue. My thanks to James Smith for providing a scan of the cover of this rather rare issue.
     
6.   20/1/51 Dundee v Celtic, League Match programme. My thanks to Joe McHugh for the image of this programme cover.
     
7.   New programme discovered 73/4 12th Jan 1974 Morton v Celtic , First Div - postponed. Seems to be a rare issue. Thanks to Chris Collings from Dover for the scan of cover.
     
8.   1995/6 programme Falkirk v Celtic from 10th Feb 1996 is wrongly dated 1995 on programme cover.
     
9.   Reserve programme Aberdeen v Celtic from 24th September 1960. Thanks to Darryl Scholey for the scan.
     
10.   Amazingly a third different programme cover for Ashington v Celtic Friendly match on 11th May 1968 has been found by Darryl Scholey. See the three covers in Away Friendlies section.
     
11.   Thank you to Hibernian collector Eric Gregor, from Edinburgh for the scan of a very rare postponed 46/7 Celtic home programme from 5th April 1947 Celtic v Motherwell, League match. A new programme was issued when game played on 3rd May 1947.

21.   Thanks to Simon Lord for sending in the image of a purple 8 page pirate from the 1970 Bobby Moore testimonial. Simon desribes the pirate as " It is eight pages with no reference to the match except for the single sheet insert (also shown). It was produced by "Martins of Hammersmith"
     
22.   A number of rare European match ticket scans have now been added to the site/cd. A special thank you to Dougie Fleck for thaking the time to send in the scans. Well worthwhile visiting the various European ties, now marked with a (T), to view the tickets.
