Image for Flashback- Celtic fan shares set of Boardroom pictures from 1988

One Celtic fan has shared a brilliant set of pictures of the club boardroom from the Centenary season.

At the time the frontage of the stadium was being developed with space at a premium with the old layout. Some of the landmark momentos are on view such as the items relating to Lisbon and the John Thomson mirror.

As Billy McNeill put together a squad to make the season memorable the players reported for training at Celtic Park, got ready then made their own way along London Road to training at Barrowfield.

These days fans can buy a ticket for a Stadium tour where they get shown around by a guide that certainly knows the history.

Up until the late nineties you had to have someone in the know to get a look behind the scenes although Pools Agents were regularly given tours.

Since the Scottish Cup was won against Aberdeen in May 2017 all three domestic trophies have been looked after inside Celtic Park, that state of affairs looks like continuing for some time to come with no dates in place for the Scottish Cup or League to be played.
