.ALTERNATIVE VIEW ISSUE 69 - 31/05/08

A Champions Special Edition of the excellent Celtic fanzine Alternative View was issued today.

Inside, we read how It all went wrong for the Scottish football establishment when the hOOped heroes went to Tannadice and the helicopter followed.

.PHIL O'DONNELL TRIBUTE MATCH - 25/05/08

A Celtic Legends team played a Motherwell Legends team on Sunday 25 May as a tribute to Phil O'Donnell, who died playing for Motherwell earlier this season. The championship winning squad of 1997/98 represented Celtic and Motherwell had their Scottish Cup winning squad from 1991. It was a fitting pairing as 'Uncle Phil' played in both. 60,000 fans crammed into Celtic Park to watch the match that was won 5-1 by the Celtic team - understandable considering the age differences in the squads.

.CELTIC ARE THE SPL CHAMPIONS - 22/05/08

Say hello to 3-in-a-row. After the traumatic week for everybody connected to Celtic legend Tommy Burns, the team he helped build went to Tannadice and made Rangers' 2-0 defeat at Pittodrie irrelevant by beating Dundee United 1-0. Gordon Strachan has now seen off Alex McLeish, the Paul Le Guen revolution and Walter Smith to become the first Celtic manager since the immortal Jock Stein to win 3 championships in a row and, he did it while qualyfying for the last 16 of the Champions League - TWICE!

.CELTIC VIEW HONOURS TOMMY BURNS - 22/05/08

Issue 44 of the Celtic View was delayed for a day to allow the publishers time to include the amazing scenes from Tommy Burns' funeral on Tuesday where over 20,000 mourners lined the streets to watch the legends funeral cortège as it made its way from St Mary's church to Celtic Park. The entire issue, 72 pages has been turned over to the life and times of the Celtic legend who died last Thursday. Tommy was the very definition of a Celtic person and the issue covers his entire career from his very first match for Celtic in the 1974/75 season through his playing career and onto management and coaching. He will be sadly missed by all. Please click this to see the Tommy Burns tribute issue.

ALTERNATIVE VIEW ISSUE 68 - 17/05/08

Issue 68 of the Alternative View Celtic fanzine is out. Predictably, the front cover acknowledges the tragic death of Celtic legend Tommy Burns at the age of only 51. Tommy was a great Celt and he will be sorely missed along with Phil O'Donnell. We have looked out the programme for Tommy's testimonial against Liverpool played in 1987 and created an unworthy tribute to the great man. Click here for our Tommy's tribute.
