In days gone by well before the days of underground heating when Celtic staff, friends of the club and general helpers would chip away at the ice and snow, great efforts to get the game on would on many occasions be unsuccessful.
For the very first time and screen printed by hand on a T-Shirt, the old floodlight pylons, the Celtic end and a small section of the old south stand are depicted with the workers beavering away.
Of course nowadays you’d find out within seconds of a game being abandoned due to pitch problems via the wonders of social media. In 1959 you only had the radio to inform you, and that’d probably only be on a given during news bulletin. Fans waited with expectation wondering if they’d see their team that day. How times have changed!
