The Battle To Save Celtic: Part 10 - Andrew Smith, Celtic View Editor

30 years ago Fergus McCann swept into Celtic Park and secured the clubs very existence with an eleventh hour investment that would alter the course of Celtic’s history for ever.
In this special series by The Celtic Exchange we've been speaking to some of the key players from that time as we bring you the inside stories of what unfolded during that incredible era in Celtic's history.
We’re covering the story from all angles and as someone with a front row seat between 1989 - 1997 in his role at The Celtic View, Andrew Smith experienced all sides of 'The Battle'.
Firstly under "The Old Board" before retaining his place as part of the Fergus McCann regime until his own exit from the club.
🎙️ Andrew's story is wholly unique and you can listen to it right here as he talks in detail about what life was REALLY like at Celtic Park during those extraordinary times.

Tino i have loved every single episode of the series...but this guy was a hard listen at the point of writing this im only half an hour into it and this guy is coming across as a bit of an all about me character

[@elfy1839]

You noticed how everything "bad" was someone else's fault....

[@stephenmcghee4318]

M8 maybe he gave shaggy the lyrics to his song it wasn't me...ffs he said he challenged fergus on moving to hampden..questioned his vision of building our 60000 all seater stadium..can you even imagine,,,his feet wouldn't have touched the ground as fergus kicked him out the door.....but to top the lot he takes credit for quote that described what the late great tommy burns loved in order... faith family and football.....very tough listen ...all me me me..HH
