Celtic fans can round off a memorable week in style with Bend It Like Brattbakk making three appearances in The Kerrydale Street.
Starting off at Webster’s Theatre the show enjoyed four sell-out nights at the SEC in October 2019 and recently put on a few shows in Corby.
Whenever Celtic are involved there is bound to be drama, Jim Orr brilliantly captures the events of the 1997/98 season when a future Norwegian airline pilot preserved a cherished piece of history set by Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions.
BEND IT LIKE BRATTBAKK is back to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the momentous 1997-98 season.
23-24 JUNE 2023, at The Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park.

The play views the season through a typical Celtic family, a father and daughter that had suffered through the previous seasons before the unlikely figure of Wim Jansen appeared on the scene to deliver one of the most welcome title wins in Celtic’s history.
It was far from plain sailing for all involved, starting off with back-to-back defeats from Hibs and Dunfermline Athletic which suggested that another season of pain was opening up.
All of the topical issues of the season are covered with biting humour and honesty through a range of characters living the emotions that range from outright dread to the ultimate high when Harald popped in that goal against St Johnstone.
Twenty-five years later fans can sit behind that goal and recall the season with laughter and song.
The show is on at 7.30pm on Friday plus 2.30pm and 7.30pm Saturday.
