Celtic’s Paranoia . . . All in the Mind?

A new, third edition of the football classic. Campbell brings the story right up to date with compelling new material on the abuse suffered by manager Neil Lennon and former player Aiden McGeady. All of the subjects that made the original so fascinating are still here: the deep hostility in Scottish society to all things Celtic; the forced closure of Celtic Park . . . after trouble at Ibrox; the Cox-Tully affair and the birth of Celtic's paranoia; the Eire flag debacle, which nearly led to Celtic being expelled from Scottish football; the leaning of so many referees towards Rangers; the unfair treatment of Celtic players who represented Scotland. Campbell, a former teacher and academic, is the Celtic historian par excellence and he analyses the issues with his typical rigour, intelligence and wit.
