Trivia
- Celtic’s tour of Austria, Bohemia
- As Austria & Hungary were to become pivotal development hubs for the game int he future, this tour by Celtic can be to have been another than helped pave the way for the modern game.
- Ged OBrien (football historian): “#scotsfoundedfootball There is a further note to the Celtic Continental Tour of 1904. I think it is Maley, but am not sure. The games were reasonably easily won 4-2 v Vienna AC, 6-1 a Vienna Select, 3-0 Deutscher FC of Vienna and 4-1 v the Slavonian Club (Sparta Prague).Celtic’s ‘short-passing game was much admired.’ and ‘The Austrians are big, strong and very fast and they have a sound conception of the dribbling game…’ Main complaint? Refs not knowing the rules and being frightened to penalise the home team. There is a further note to the Celtic Continental Tour of 1904. I think it is Maley, but am not sure.

The Viennese and Czechs will have seen the Scottish Combination game in all its glory. They added it to their theory of how the game should be played. It allowed players like Matthias Sindelar the Paper Man to succeed like a #scotchprofessor” https://twitter.com/gedboy58/status/1436975768278638596?s=20
