Match Pictures | Matches 19411942

Trivia

  • Celtic & World War Two
  • September 17 1941 – SFA close Celtic Park for a month until October 18 after crowd disorder at Ibrox. Celtic not allowed to play at any other ground in Glasgow until that date. Somewhat draconian, and Celtic feel injustice. Fans suspect that it may because Celtic supporters wave flags of neutral Ireland. SFA and their Secretary George Graham perceived as being irredeemably anti-Celtic.
