Our future is with our bhoys and Supporters.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]Although I was disappointed not to get a victory on Saturday, I was delighted with the display of our young players; the future certainly looks very bright with these young players coming through our squad.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]It is always good to strengthen the squad and Neil has done that with the signings of Kamenar, Ambrose, Miku, and Lassad (hopefully with no interference from Levante) they will certainly be needed in the Champions league.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]I believe the way forward for us in the SPL has to be to bring our own young players through, the days of £6 million players coming in has long gone, our whole business plan depends on our own supporters, we cannot survive on the money we get from television.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]We have a terrific group of young players capable of playing first team football, bhoys like Adam Mathews, James Forrest, Victor Wanyama, Dylan Mc Geouch, Tony Watt,and Filip Twardzik can all become Celtic Legends.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]These bhoys will be ably guided by the senior players like Scott Brown, Charlie Mulgrew,and Joe Ledley, not exactly pension age either.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]Lenny will probably want to play his strongest team in the Champions League, and then make a few changes in the domestic matches, that would be the perfect set-up.Obviously with making changes there will be hick-ups along the way, just like Saturday, but they don’t hand out any trophies in September; so need to fret too much.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]We assupporters have our part to play, we need to turn up and give the young players as much encouragement as possible, we need to show them that there is no greater arena to play football than Celtic Park; all the European greats have said so.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]Some of these young bhoys are going to get the chance to sample the atmosphere at Celtic Park on a Champions League night against some of the world’s greatest players, and the same players will get the chance to see and listen to the world’s greatest supporters.

[COLOR=#000000:6563bced]The future is bright, the future is Green & White ..[/COLOR:6563bced]

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
