time for a new set of Legends.

[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]I guess it was pre-Champions League nerves that got to most of our team at Perth on Saturday,St Johnstone were certainly the hungrier team, and might just have deserved to win the match.

[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]People have been saying the league was a forgone conclusion, and it would be won by Christmas, well if we needed a wake-up call, we’ve had it, the league must always be our priority, the champions League is the icing on the cake.
[/COLOR:4a4bf475]
[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]With the strengthening of our squad we should be able to rest some players before and after CL matches, and although we have some injuries, I don’t think we would have been too far away from Lenny’s first pick team on Saturday.

[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]So Wednesday night is the start of our European adventure for this season, I’m sure the Green Brigade will suitably entertain us both vocally and visually, these are very special nights at Celtic Park, we must strive to continue to add to our fame, both on the pitch and off it.

[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]Hopefully we will be close to a full house on Wednesday night, the price for the CL ticket package was very good, and it’s a pay-back from Peter Lawwell and the club to the fans for their support in buying season tickets.

[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]Skipper Scott Brown will be the only player playing on Wednesday night who has sampled the atmosphere on Champions League nights at Celtic Park, I still remember the first time I heard the music, it was truly mind blowing, the memory of the night will be etched in the minds of our players for the rest of their lives.
[/COLOR:4a4bf475]
[COLOR=#000000:4a4bf475]Celtic have had many legends through the years, but there is always room for more, I sincerely hope that Lenny and this bunch of players become the new Legends, we will play our part as supporters, it’s down to them to play theirs.[/COLOR:4a4bf475]

Time to transfer some of that Euro atmosphere to the domestic scene too, Joe. All the support should be a Green Brigade all of the time. In my young days you would have been threatened - not quite, regarded rather- as an opposition supporter if you did not sing. Here's hoping for a great start on Wednesday then an equally great follow up on Saturday.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
