Quotes
"Chairman Brian Quinn and Director Dermot Desmond also came in to say how proud they were and to thank us all individually and collectively. It’s been a habit of Dermot’s over the years to pop in after big matches and the players do appreciate the fact that he is a fan who also has the best interests of Celtic at heart. "
