Well done Alan on taking up the reins

Whilst I have data on all Celtic matches, I also have a note of most of the Opposition XIs that played in the games v Celtic.

If I can be of any help just let me know and all the best with the project

Thanks for that

Unfortunately, I never met him either although I did speak with him on the phone. He was always very helpful and after he passed away I was fortunate to be given a copy of his Celtic files by another Celtic Historian, Tom Campbell. These files have been very useful for adding to my data on Celtic Mi...

If you have a subscription, the Motherwell Times is available in the BNA.

Guys, a mistake right enough! The matches were played in May not October, over five successive Saturdays at the end of the season. Put that mistake down to the after-effects of the mighty 'Onians return!! Did you find any newspaper reports on the matches? I'm going to check the Motherwell Times at ...

Great info there if you could just please clarify the dates so that I can start looking for any newspaper reports

For season 1889/90, Carfin Shamrock are shown as the winners: http://scottish-football-historical-archive.com/airdriecharitycup The only detail shown is that Carfin Shamrock drew 2-2 with Airdrie on the 17th May 1890. Unfortunately, there no issues of the Motherwell Times for 1890 on the British New...

It should be included
