Celtic Takeover 1994

Various reports on the March 4th takeover at Celtic as Fergus McCann took power at Celtic Park.

[@the_red_barron1002]

Im a Arsenal fan but very happy Celtic got though their financial troubles. Celtic's a special club.

[@Harry-jz1dn]

Fergus McCann - one of the most important figures in our club's history

[@the_red_barron1002]

@Mark S why'd you delete your comment.

[@the_red_barron1002]

@Mark S only Arsenal and Rangers being friends just wondered why you deleted it. YOU Tube didn't your comments thats crazy.

[@the_red_barron1002]

@Mark S N I'm not saying i don't believe you, I'm sure you Tube does. I know they take dislikes off videos that they are trying to promote

[@TonyBananas101]

Fergus McCann - a man of action as well as words. A legend. Deserves a statue at the stadium along with Jock, Billy and Jinky.

[@Smudgeroon74]

The North Stand should be named after Fergus.

[@mrmervinjminky5317]

Yes, and the standing section should be officially called "the jungle" hail hail

we don't need statues of everyone that has done a great service to this great club. its not a fucking cemetery. HH YNWA

[@anthonyhemphill5569]

AYE TRUE

[@johnadams20132013]

I'm from Wexford from Ireland was over twice in Glasgow for a Celtic game remember getting the book. Celtic will be forever grateful to him for saving the club for saving the club his legacy is a positive one build the new stadium and stopped Rangers 10 league titles in a row. Celtic is a brilliant club way I was treated by the Glasgow celtic fans was unbelievable they are brilliant fans just like the Irish fans.

[@TheBlaert]

If it wasn't for Fergus I've no doubt the huns would've won 10 in a row. Legend of a man

[@lordsummerisle3139]

A joyful day for Celtic and a great day for Scottish football too. The prospect of perpetual Rangers domination was horrifying. Best wishes from Easter Road 💚

[@Jie67]

Dominic Keane " see Celtic back to good days" thank you Dominic and Fergus thank you so much.

[@Jie67]

4 Year into my life and the club I love could have died. heartbreaking to think where this could have went. HERE WE GO FOR 10 IN A ROW!!!!

[@Garngad_bhoy]

I wonder what the old board think today after they almost let us go to the wall the night it was announced the rebels have won I cried tears of joy my club your club our club was coming back to life who thought we'd go to a European cup final, go 69 games undeafed or win a treble treble & counting it was Fergus that planted the seed for it all saying thank you doesn't seem to be enough a stand named after him or even a statue outside the stadium he built would be more appropriate ynwa hh

Where did you get all these clips from? Cheers for uploading them. Thank God for Fergus McCann HH!

[@Murney10]

Without Fergus McCann we wouldn’t have stopped old rangers doing 10 in a row and without Fergus McCann we wouldn’t be doing 10 in a row,he saved Celtic and I like hundreds of thousands will be eternally greatful #UTLR

[@joepaccrakurii1227]

Dominic Keane's words have got me bubbling. Thanks Fergus, dominic Brian and all the heroes that saved our club

[@ACM-sp1gh]

Why isn't there a gold statue of Fergus outside parkhead? If it wasn't for him we'd have been a case of sevco before sevco gers. Madness. All hair Fergus💚🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🙏

[@1985JM]

People say he didn’t spend money on players but forget he bought PVH , Thom , cadete , Di Canio

[@mydogiscalledoscar]

Dominic Keane turned out to be a complete roaster.

[@steveng6788]

We need Fergus back now this board have no interest in building for the future or fighting blatant corruption. Also its disgusting he does not have a statue outside like the others that made Celtic what we are today, Jesus Christ even name a fkn stand after him to show some gratitude and recognition for what he achieved for us. Great upload Andy, its a pity you stopped uploading your vids are great

[@IixAGxiI]

Fergus has said he doesn't want a statue though so how is it disgusting. A stand would be good. He was also more of a penny pincher than our current board . He wouldn't pay players what they asked for and if he did he wouldn't give them 1 penny more

[@MarkMcCann1888]

God bless every one of those men who stepped in and saved our club. Unbroken history.

[@JohnBoyBeattie]

Funny hearing Gerry McNee’s voice again. His voice was one of the more prominent ones in Scottish football when I was growing up.

The North stand needs to be renamed 'The Fergus McCann Stand'. And invite him round for the ceremony on a match day, and give him the applause he deserves.

[@kegalormoon]

Wee fergus what a man a legend . Dominic Keane's words are special

[@mahoohaley454]

I also would like to see a statue of Fergus at celtic Park but mccann screwed up numerous things, Di canio and Tommy burns Contracts. David Ginloa was ready to sign for celtic until Fergus said to him" you won't to play up here in the winter in places like Aberdeen. Tommy has meant to have bowed his head and just shook it

[@duneideannaer5990]

This is our Beautifully historical club’s rebirth. Look at us now, a very progressive club indeed.

We didn’t go into receivership ,we paid our debt and carried on to where we are today, extremely successful

[@mctavish4496]

Parkhead looked like a depressing place to watch football in the early 1990's. For the fans who were brave enough to go!! Empty terraces and a toxic atmosphere, which was hardly surprising whilst the old hierarchy were still in charge. It changed when McCann took over though. Or at least it seemed to, from the outside looking in.

[@MultiJoe84]

It was! I went occasionally, not regularly back then with my dad. It’s like night and day now. By god McCann was good for Celtic.

[@mrsuperger5429]

As a Gers fan, I liked wee Fergus. He tried to weed out the sectarianism, racism and bigotry associated with Celtc, but it came back with a vengeance when he left for Canada.

[@Stesano]

Ha ha what a clown shoe how ironic you are you on a champions content showing how Fergus and the fans saved our club!! Long before internet banking to!! Where poison like you stood back and let oldco die!! After the cheating a stealing of over millions of tax money!! Just so you could compete with out famous club!! If this were us in 2012 we would raised millions upon millions with internet banking but you and youe ilk only used oldco! For your vile hate!! You talk of sectarianism there was never any at our club ever!! Thats your bag!! As the whoke World knows!! We are a club for everyone always were built from Solidarity, unity ,charity and love!! Your hate filled posionous old club only became strong to oppose " the migrants" worked out well that eh!! See we are Celtic and they are us!! Wherever we go we take the club with us !! And meet plenty like us i lived in Australia for years our Celtic community its unparalleled there way more thsman all the english clubs believe me! Where as the typical hun as soon as he leaves scotland realises its over!! " snow off a dyke " as they say why cause hate and poison arent tolertated trust me i know plenty orcs that dropped oldco! As the oldco director hugh adam stated " we are merely a west of Scotland club CELTIC ARE A GLOBAL ONE!! And it is there for all to see now stay off our content your old club and not new one mean nothing to us !! No " o f" tho you weirdos hang on to that like a mad ex stalker!! I never used that tern and 99 percent of us always hate it!! We are no part of vile filth!! Now stop seeking validation and relevance saddo, we are about to CELTICBRATE ANOTHER TREBLE!! YESSSSSSSSS!!

[@josephmaxwell3868]

Fergus done a great job saving the club, he had a truly revolutionary plan. He stood tall and followed the plan through to the end, modernising the stadium and stopping 10 in a row. Hail Hail🍀🍀 Fergus picked up £30+ Million Nett pay check as he left Celtic Park as a Tax Exile. I don't grudge him the money he made, he was honest enough to declare his intention from day one. Tommy Burns had a much greater impact on Celtic, he was the lifeblood and the heart of Celtic Football Club and he doesn't have a statue in the Celtic Way. Fergus doesn't deserve one, he was paid handsomely for his financial input, but more appropriately however, he should have a stand named after him, because without him there would be no stadium.
