Product Information

This easy activity makes the perfect Burns Night decoration for your home. All you need to do first of all is cut a length of appropriately-sized string for your bunting to be attached to. The 1977 logo introduced a green circle with a white core. That’s where they put a green clover with white veins – their new symbol. Along the top of the resulting green frame, they’ve written the club’s name – ‘the Celtic Football Club’ – in white letters. The founding year was written in the very bottom, by contrast. 1987 – 1989 Along with Charlie Quinn, he co-founded the Bonnybridge Celtic S.C. A member of the club, one of the Doyle family designed the bus plaque that was in time to become the official logo of Celtic F.C. Ltd. Bridget’s father, Ned, arrived in the East End of Glasgow around the 1880’s. He was from Derry and he was only 16 years old. Ned must have had the equivalent of a front seat when they staged the first Celtic Show in 1888. Celtic surely touched his heart. Among the many immigrant Irish in the East End was a girl – Elizabeth New from Tullamore, Co. Offaly. She definitely touched his heart. However, images have emerged of Met officers wearing the symbol late last month as they policed a stand-off between LGBTQ+ rights supporters and a rightwing group over a drag act’s performance at the Honor Oak pub in Lewisham, south London.

Obviously the club’s symbols and colours are Irish befitting of our humble beginnings but many probably don’t know that we only started using the hoops in 1903 after wearing green and white stripes before then and of course the original white top with green collar and Celtic cross on the right breast for the first season only.To make a badge, start by cutting out some card into small circle shapes (however big you want your badges to be).

During the amendment, there was even speculative consideration by Fergus McCann (the then Chief Executive) of possibly changing the crest at one short point, but thankfully was never taken any further see article. The badge IMO was never meant to stifle laughter or suffocate teasing and light banter. Even today, given the solemnity of the occasion there was still great amusement when we recalled Bridget’s foibles and idiosyncrasies.

I saw a reference in The Celt fanzine some time ago to there being an earlier four leaf clover emblem used by the club. In a book about the legendary Celtic defender James 'Dun' Hay (by his grandson Roy Hay –'The Story of a Footballer' 2004) the above photo appears confirming that this was the design used on medals issued by the club to the players who won every major trophy available in Scotland that year, the first time this had been done. The original medal is in Roy Hay's possession. This may not have been an official club crest at the time. At the time of the Club's Golden Jubilee in 1938 the four leaf clover featured on the front of the official menu:

Ned and Elizabeth were married in Shettleston in 1892 and they produced 16 children, the first born Mary 1893 and the youngest in 1915– James. In true Scottish style, have a go at making your very own family tartan with this colourful activity! It wasn’t until the late seventies when the four leaf clover became the emblem emblazoned on the strip, and has been since used to the present day as the club crest.Kids can decorate their badges however they'd like. You can get some simple Celtic designs up online to help inspire them. Gold and silver pens will be especially effective, but use any colours you have!
