Jungle Days – Supporting Celtic in the 1980s

During the tempestuous 1980s, when Thatcher and Thatcherism ruled the roost, author John Wight found Celtic Football Club as a cause to live by rather than just a club to support. In this book he:

• Explains the 'whys' as well as the 'whats' of Celtic, blending personal memoir with social history
  
• Offers a deeply personal insight into the 1980s as experienced by a devout Celtic supporter
  
• Delves into the compelling history of Glasgow Celtic FC from its inception onwards
  Assesses the role of Hibernian FC in Celtic's formation and seminal moments in the club’s past
  
• Profiles some of the club's legends
  
• Explores the club's Irish roots and identity

Writing with uncommon honesty and clarity, Wight mines the contours of football as a sport and entity that is far greater than the sum of its parts to bring us an inimitable account of a unique club and time. Published in 2025.
