The Celtic IF

Last updated : 10 May 2008 By Magicpole

IF you have ever sat on yer fathers knee and listened to tales of Celtic heroes past.

IF you have ever played fitba in the street a scored a hundred hat tricks for the Hoops

If you have ever sat in front of the telly and leapt into the air bursting it with your joy at a goal.

IF you have ever travelled to a game they said we could not win but in your heart you knew.

IF you have ever stood beside your fellow Tims and watched them sing in defiance of all that seeks to destroy us and said, these are my people.

IF you have ever linked arms with your friends for collective strength as one of our heroes prepares to take a penalty.

IF you have ever walked up London Road or the Gallowgate and on seeing Paradise felt you were going home.

IF you have ever read a paper that blatantly attacks our club and thought these people have no honour.

IF you have ever travelled or watched our fans abroad and felt pride at being a part of something that is a credit to us all.

IF you have ever listened to those who hate us try to demean what we have achieved and think to yourself, you will never defeat us.

IF you have ever been so proud of them that tears well in your eyes and you feel no shame at others seeing them

IF you have staggered around in a group embracing as a goal against them destroys the silence

IF you have ever felt that no matter what may come, what trials we face, we shall not be moved.

IF you have ever felt that to love this club is an honour and those that do are your brothers and sisters.

IF you havethen you are a Celtic Fan my friend, and for that we are all truly blessed.
