Summary

[….]

When Postecoglous took over as manager of Celtic, he actually helped to involve the ballboys more. His belief was that when Celtic were on the attack, that possession and continuity were of primary importance. Therefore ballboys were instructed that when the ball went out, that they had to return the ball immediately & swiftly to the Celtic players to restart the game so to maintain pressure & play. This relied up some opposition supporters, with some online Sevco fans complaining that the ballboys were invloved in the Celtic teamtalks etc. Comical.


Ballboy shivers in front of old Enclosure. Uncovered ‘away end’ empty. Hard to believe it’s a European tie v Basel from October 63. Less than 8,000 there after Celts won 1st leg 5-1. Lowest Euro home crowd?
1984-12-22: Celtic 1-1 Rangers, Premier Division
