    A thread for the old codgers of the forum but who else remembers the Playing For Celtic series of books that came out annually and ran for a couple of decades, used to always get them for my Christmas and they were a fantastic read, think it would be brilliant idea for the club to try and resurrect the title :50:

    They were good, my father has every Playing For Celtic book ever made. Something he is quite proud of.

    Love them - am about 3 short of whole collection.

    Used to be an essential Xmas stocking gift in the '80s. Am sure club would make a tidy profit from something similar - the official books on offer are usually aimed at the kids. These books stand the test of time - some great memories (and a few bad ones) but a great photo record of each Celtic season with in-depth player interviews.

    Bring them back!

    My dad had them, thought about collecting them myself recently off of ebay. Football memorabilia is quite cheap right now because ebay is saturated in programmes etc.
