The shirts speak for themselves and show how Celtic went from underdogs on the international stage to one of the most dominant forces in Europe during the late 1960s and early 70s.
He continued: “Dad suffered from dementia and in the last few years of his life I spent a lot of time with him, which I loved. We would spend time in the garden, building fences and what not, with dad singing along to his favourite Frank Sinatra songs. As we look to expand the charity’s activities, we are looking to support a number of other good causes, including research into dementia.”
