What's your favourite ever Celtic memory?

Celtic fan from Ireland here Sam... Said it before and I'll say it again huge credit to you for the light you are shining on the Scottish game and the League of Ireland/Irish league. You have done more to promote Scottish football than Sky or the SFA ever did... Much respect 🤜🤛

You shouldn't forget the first Irish club in Scotland,HIBERNIAN which was founded by Irish immigrants in Edinburgh in 1875 13 years ahead of Celtic.

I support a green and white club here in Denmark. It's also rather important for us here in Viborg as well, cos Scottish railroad workers inspired the foundation of our local club in 1896 and the local cricket club in 1897.

Celtics history is one of the great romantic stories of football.

Was in Sligo 5 yrs ago and a local says to me a train takes you to Ballymote where Brother Walfrid was from So I decided to go 30 min journey , glad I went it’s right outside train station so easy to find a great day for me . So proud of my Irish roots 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

You can't buy history. Clubs today like Man City dream of the big European Cup. We will always be the first to ever win it in the UK. With a team of natives 30 miles within the stadium. Billy McNeil the greatest Celtic Captain lead us to glory most teams will never see. No other Scottish team has gotten close to winning it.

Sam, great video as usual. Well researched, and I speak as a Rangers supporter. Thank you for what you strive to do concerning the game we all love.😁

As a 28 year old Bayern Munich fan, I have travelled throughout Europe supporting Bayern. Sadly, I have never been to Ireland or Scottland yet, which is definitely on my list now thanks to your videos. I have subscribed for about a year and I used to only watch Celtic vs Rangers game on tv. Your videos have made me follow the scottish prem and even pay attention to other, lesser known teams such as hearts or hibs. Keep up the great work and I hope to greet you in Germany someday!

I actually grew up in the town you were in, Collooney, and had no idea the Celtic was founded in Ballymote. Great video

Brilliant video mate. Have been in Ballymoat and seen the park. Favourite memory is being Celtic mascot in early 80s. 🍀

Hi Sam. I wish i caught up with you in my home town of Sligo. Loved the video, but you missed out on another Sligoman who was as equally important as Brother Walfrid to Glasgow Celtic F.C.. Sean Fallon was born in Sligo town and spent 30YRS at Celtic as a player, coach and Assistant manager to Jock Stein. 10 of the 11 Lisbon Lions were already signed by Sean before Jock arrived as manager. He's also credited with discovering Kenny Dalglish among others. There's a real argument that Sean was the greatest talent scout in English football history. His force of personallity convinced many Celtic legends to sign and this ultimatly added to the history of this great club. The 31st of July this year will mark the 100th birthday of Sean Fallon, a Celtic Legend.

As a Kerins, whose grandfather moved to Dublin from Sligo, this was like watching "Who do you think you are?" for me. I was told once or twice by my dad that a relative of mine from Sligo "helped set up Celtic". Didn't even know his name until now and didn't realise that he was held in this much regard, statues and stuff. Great video.

As a Rangers fan i enjoy watching all your videos, very interesting and informative. Keep up the good work

Wow!!!This is the main evidence of how the one of the real biggest respective clubs in Scotland was being formed which indeed through the connection of the Irish,good friends!!!LONG LIVE CELTIC!!!🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️

The cross from the Ballymote Celtic badge was also the Celtic badge at one time. This was repeated in our limited edition centenary shirt a few years ago. 👍 it’s a very nice top should check it out.

A Raith Rovers fan who's followed you since your tour of the 4 Fife Stadiums....just saying I am in awe of all this Irish content you've been putting out recently. Your work ethic is insane. What a trip! Can I joy ya on next one?

Quality video mate. Your very knowledgeable and respectful of every club and tradition

Wonderful vid sir, your always very kind and respectful which all of your followers deeply appreciate please keep up the fantastic work. Always a pleasure to watch your vids. ❤

Fantastic video Sam, best whishes from the hills of Donegal 🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪💚🇮🇪

This is a tremendous upload!

You should head too sligo and check out Sligo rovers Showgrounds an impressive little stadium with a 5,500 capacity it has an outdoor museum essentially, the club is totally community based and they have completed feasibility plans too redevelop the stadium.

Love your enthusiasm Sam. This is amazing.Love Celtic.Did the ground tour.Fantastic.God Bless Brother Walfrid and all his hard work.Try and get to my beloved Craven Cottage.The ground is amazing,as is the ground tour.Well.done.👍

Walfrid was a legend 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☘️

Wow, a tiny Irish village formed Celtic. I didn't know that. Maybe my team from a little village in Nailsea can become a European Giant one day.

Fantastic video mate. Keep up the great content 👏 🇮🇪🍀👍

I'm from Ballymote this is mad putting the town on the map👍

Brother Walfrid named Celtic but, sounding Keltic & called them it until the day he died. It was to bring the 2 Celtic ( Keltic ) people together but, with the influx of the Protestant people from the North wanted nothing to do with it ( for religious reasons, they hate Catholics )& adopted the old rangers as their club. Great videos!

That was fascinating. Thanks Sam

Brilliant work from you...again.

I've been in Balllymote hundreds of times but never even thought to go see Brother Walfrid's statue

Nice one mate, greatly appreciated video 👍🏻 Small correction lad, I knew you meant Tommy Gemmell when you said "Archie" 😁 he was from Motherwell, it was Bobby Lennox who was from Saltcoats 👍🏻 Fair play to ya nonetheless, your brain must be fried with footie facts.

I thought you might have draped a scarf around Brother Walfrid. Great video, very interesting insight into the Founder of Celtic FC

God Bless Celtic.☘🇮🇪⚽️

You´re a absolut legend looking at all the history of the game! Love this kind of insighth very much and looking forward to take the plane to UK some day and walk in some of your footsteps. Great inspiration so keep up these videos!

Love your videos mate. Very well informed about Irish football. And I appreciate that you took the time to the research and have an interest in our league. Subscribed.

Another Great video 🍀Met you as a steward at Firhill at the thistle v dunfermline game last year and was great to meet someone as fascinated as myself about Scottish football.

Brilliant video I've been loving ireland trip content keep up the great work

Good work Sam, this and the other Sligo video were very interesting and I learnt a lot that I didn't know from both of them, keep 'em coming !

celtic fan here- loving the videos you put out i’ve learnt a lot with this one. keep up the work

Great Video, and it was good to hear from the local people in the area.

Great video Sam! 🍀💚🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Magnificent vid Sam! Loving your time in Ireland. Reassuring that it still rains a lot in the West.

Top stuff -so much credit to you for your brilliant pilgrimages

Brilliant Sam I love your video (very professional)

You need to check out à hurling or Gaelic game ? Biggest sport in Ireland

Great video mate 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🍀

Love following you ☘ Up the Villa

Man your videos just get better and better keep it up 👍👍

Great video Sam 👍

Great video.. Did you know you were right beside the grave of Michael Davitt buried in Straide in Mayo about 30 miles away. He was the man who laid the first sod of turf in Celtic Park! Shame you didn't get there!

Celtic are not a Catholic club as we are continually addressed as! We are a football club which was founded by a Catholic member of the church to help Irish Immigrants in Glasgow to survive impoverishment! The food kitchens which were operating were not sectarian but given the areas they operated in were mostly used by Irish Immigrants who were Catholics! The club unlike other institutions have never been against signing persons from any race religion or colour! A significant contribution has been made by people (non catholic) to our glorious history and such we should not be called a Catholic club, but a club for all! 👍🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇮

Hi Sam love your videos, you need to come back to irvine for the masssive marymass derby on Friday 19th august, friday night derby under the lights full crowd atmosphere is brilliant

Great videos about Sligo,fair play.

that was really enjoyable to wach thank u

Amazing video thank you 🙏

Very informative. 🍀⚽

Great vlog! 👏

Great video Sam. Archie Gemmill from Saltcoats did make me laugh though

I’m a Celtic fan and Ballymote Celtic player this is madness to see

I'm from around 30 minutes from there and I never knew the guy who founded Celtic was from Ballymote. Madness

Great video Sam you should definitely get to the showgrounds for the Motherwell game if we go through against Bala

10/10 cracking video sam

Love it ma man 💚🍀✅

Great video. There's no pyramid system in Ireland, country's too small for it but if there was Ballymote Celtic would be a tier/level 4 side.

"Forza_Celtic!!"!!

Sam great video mate from Ardoyne a stones throw away from Cliftonville fc

Good content again Sam

Sam fantastic content as a celtic fan I have plenty memorabilia of the club

Great video

My Dad is from there🇮🇪☘️

It was Bobby Lennox (not Archie Gemmel) who was from Saltcoats,but its difficult to remember everything! My grandpa was an Irish catholic from County Tyrone,so this was a very interesting video mate!

You should definitely go and check some of the old footballers graves that would be interesting

I played Gaelic football ln corran park for the vocational school happy days ❤

Our Head Teacher at primary school (1959/ 1966) was called Brother Walfrid 😎🇮🇪

"Archie Gemmill" lmao 🍀🇮🇪🍀🤣👌🏻

Think it was founded to help all of the poor of the east end of Glasgow ( which at that time was mainly catholic )

Irish as we call it here is the first official language so it has to be on all signs .Its a compulsory subject in schools

I am from ballymote not a ballymote celtic fan as such more of a GAA fan ,but i will tell yo what i know Ballymote celtic are a local club or a sunday league equivalent.Basically the same people who play and are involved in the GAA club are Involved in ballymote celtic there is a bit of fixture conflict though but generally thats the way it is.Usually however in rural areas its just the GAA club and if there is a soccer club they don't get on ,but not in ballymote both codes are more or less on an equal footing

The statue unveiled by Sean Fallon - Sean Fallon played for glenavon. He then moved to Celtic and played alongside Bertie Peacock who played for coleraine and glentoran. 3 clubs you went to on the ground hopping video 😎

Archie Gemmell wasn't a Lisbon Lion and didn't play for Celtic. Bobby Lennox is from Saltcoats (about 30 miles) Furthest away from Glasgow. I visit Brother Walfrid once a year. 10 minute walk or so from Palmerston. (Queen of the South)

There will soon be a statue to one of Celtics most iconic figures Willie Maley just up the road from Sligo in newry co. Down

Derry city FC would be a good stop for you Sam Loads of history

Thanks for that Sam

Everyone knows of brother walfrid mate he is a legend in our eyes the same way larsson and paul mcstay and the likes 🍀💚🇮🇪

Although not your type of sport entirely i would strongly recommend you tour Croke Park in Dublin. 3rd largest stadium in Europe and full of history.

Ballymote Celtic would be playing in the Sligo/Leitrim district league which would be the local soccer league, most county's in Ireland would have a District league it would be considered the lowest level of football in Ireland, it's goes Loi, leinster/Munster/Ulster senior leagues and then the district leagues

Whiel you're in Ireland, you should check out Milford, Armagh. It is where the penalty kick was invented!

God bless you brother walfrid 🇮🇪🇻🇦🇮🇪🇻🇦🇮🇪🇻🇦🇮🇪🇻🇦🇮🇪

You should head to deacy park in Galway or turners cross in cork both brilliant clubs and cities

☘️🏍️👍🏼kerins, ballymote,blood of☘️🏍️👍🏼

I play for Ballymote Celtic u16 we recently had renovations in the parking area I definately dont see the club in the premier division though🤣

Can’t wait for a Sligo rovers video

Sam I say you make a video talking about GAA it’s very interesting 😉

should visit athlone town fc we got history we drew with ac milan in the european cup in 1975 but sadly lost the second leg 3 -0

pls may you come to a arbroath game and get the arbroath name out there love to see you at a game

Live about 5 minutes from the ballymote Celtic pitch, they’re a “Sunday league” team and at a very low level, just a community club!

Would love to go to the birth place of our founding father 🇮🇪☘️ I’ve been doing brother Walfrid’s family tree , it’s so interesting

Not Archie Gemmel lol Tommy Gemmel was from Craigneuk

Bobby Lennox came from & still lives in Saltcoates. 🍀🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🍀
