1894

I am excited to say that a photograph of the 1894 Scotland V England match has surfaced and will be included in our book. This is a highly significant image. Not only is it the oldest surviving photograph of Celtic Park but it is, to my knowledge, the oldest surviving photograph of an international football match!!! That is pretty special if true.

The photograph has surfaced from the Celtic historians and I have exchanged a few pictures with them in return. My photographs of Celtic park (which were all of the 1898 International match were described as breathtaking and groundbreaking!!! Well that is nice to know.
