Title: Celtic Team
Post by: ianmccallum on Friday 16 August 13 13:23 BST (UK)
Hi Guys

Any improvement to the quality would be great. If colouring, the team colours are green and white. Loads of examples of the shade of green on the web, just type in Celtic FC.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the time and effort on the photo. I am friends with the descendants of Peter Johnstone who is the player standing next to the man in the straw hat (Willie Maley). I am doing a family history on Peter who was killed in action in World War One.

Is that the "big team" in the jerseys with broader stripes (12 of them, but no keeper), and 7 lads with narrower stripes, including the wee lad with the kiss curl, who looks to have inherited a jersey that's been through the wash a few times more than the others.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the interest. Coloured photo is great. Willie Loney is one of the Celtic's all time greats. He is in the photo, same row as the trainer (white sweater) second player in. Loads of information and photos of him on the Celtic wiki site.
