Celtic is a community institution the supporters are entitled to be proud of.
Tony McManus is the best Celtic guitarist in the world.
I have come to use the pan-Celtic history, which spans from 500 BC to the present, as a creative springboard. The music I am creating is a result of traveling down that road and picking up all manner of themes and influences, which may or may not be overtly Celtic in nature.
Celtic 'is a magic bag, into which anything may be put, and out of which almost anything may come. . . Anything is possible in the fabulous Celtic twilight, which is not so much a twilight of the gods as of the reason.
I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.
Socialism and Communism don't work, but neither does straightforward capitalism. We've got to get a new way of thinking and working. We blew it so there was good and bad about the celtic tiger. But we're tiny. There's four million in the country, do you know what I mean? We're tiny. Four million in a country, how many is in New York? Seven? Ten? But we're strong, so hopefully we pull through.
Celtic music is part of the language in Scotland and Ireland, where every kid and grandparent knows those songs, music by the likes of Woody Guthrie and Hank Snow is getting entrenched here. They are part of our cultural language. It's part of a living treasure. It doesn't just belong to a museum.
I was born in the island of Ireland. I have Irish traits in me - we don't all have the traits of what came from Scotland, there is the celtic factor. . . and I am an Irishman because you cannot be an Ulsterman without being an Irishman
Celtic fans are some of the greatest supporters I know.
I am not a huge fan of the Celtic Tiger; I was so glad that you could see people being prosperous, that you didn't see people begging, that the city started looking good, that people had jobs. But it was almost like if you have such a hard time for so long, then you turn around and give a kid a check for a million quid, they're going to go nuts. And we went a bit nuts, we went up our ass.
I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.
Once Celtic got their equaliser, they played a sort of anti-football.
I have always been interested in mythology and history. The more I read, the more I realized that there have always been people at the edges of history that we know very little about. I wanted to use them in a story and bring them back into the public's consciousness. Similarly with mythology: everyone knows some of the Greek or Roman legends, and maybe some of the Egyptian or Norse stories too, but what about the other great mythologies: the Celtic, Chinese, Native American?
Celtic have scored in the 50th consecutive game in which they've managed to score
If I can achieve for Celtic what I have achieved for Hibs, then I feel I will have done well for them.
People are fooled by the colour of my skin. I grew up on the north side of Fredericton in a Celtic culture with an Acadian choir. Don't let the black fool you. I'm actually quite white. When people give me permission to do anything, I simply say, "I would have taken it anyway, but I appreciate you thinking I care what you think. " I don't do it with a sense of belligerence. I really do mean well.
Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they don't shrink to fit inferior players
It's not just a football club. Celtic means so much to so many people.
Celtic music will always be around, even if with the mainstream crowds it dies out.
There's something about Celtic mythology which is deep in the soul, and I just think that somehow she has tapped right into it.
