Just a fan of Celtic and Scottish football in general. Do the occasional edit on Scottish-related football biographies.

"To Do" list
Lisbon Lions - I've recently managed to get The Bhoys from Seville article up to GA status; it seems ridiculous the Lisbon Lions article isn't of a similar standard. I'll try to improve it over the next few months. Any assistance from other editors would be greatly appreciated.

Celtic F.C. - It would be great to get this to GA status, but the "Celtic media", "Influence on other clubs" and "Celtic & charity" sections are pretty weak and need to be much improved. Again, any assistance from other editors would be much appreciated.

List of Celtic F.C. records and statistics - want to get this to Featured List status, but i'm really struggling to find sources/refs for all the stats. I've added "citation needed" markers to encourage others to assist.

Celtic F.C. 4–2 Rangers F.C. (1979) - famous "10 men win the league game" - Old Firm decider in 1979 where the winner would clinch the league. Need to create an article for this.

Dead links
If you come across a dead link in a reference citation, please check the archive site http://archive.org/web/ to see if the link has been archived there. Refer to "How to work around Dead Links" for more details. It's quite simple really (I can figure it out!)

Articles created:

Hearts F.C. and World War I - article re the en-masse enlisting of Hearts footballers to fight in World War I.

Articles I've added to significantly:

Peter Latchford - Celtic goalkeeper in mid/late 70s; added info about career

Artur Boruc - expanded info on Celtic career and have added as much info on his earlier club career in Poland that I can find (Google translate came in handy, my Polish isn't very good....)

Henrik Larsson - added references, expanded info on Celtic career and his return to Sweden, struggling to find much verifiable info on his early Helsingborg and Feyenoord career

Ralph Milne - before I started, his bio had half a page devoted to his stint at Man Utd (when he was p*sh), and one sentence on his time at Dundee United - where he made nearly 300 appearances, played regularly in Europe and won a league championship! So, I added info to his Dundee Utd career. Another editor has since successfully got this article up to GA status.

History of Celtic F.C. - added bits here and there, re-organised some of the material into a more chronological order, added references. Have since divided into two separate articles (1887-1994 and 1994-present), using the Fergus McCann takeover as the point to split the history.

Andreas Thom - expanded info on career; was the first East German to transfer to a West German team and was hugely successful prior to that at Dynamo Berlin, but I'm not able to find the verifiable info to expand this into a decent article.

Allen McKnight - N Ireland goalkeeper late 1980s; added info on his stint at Celtic

Sam English - played for Rangers and Liverpool in the 1930s; re-wrote article + added references

Kris Commons - Ex-Celtic attacking midfielder; trying to keep article up to date.

Andy Goram - Oldham, Hibs, Rangers & Scotland 'keeper - added more info to his career biog. Probably more stuff that can be added for his personal life, but is controversial and I'm struggling to find adequate references.

1967 Intercontinental Cup - inglorious punch-up between Celtic and the Argentinian hacking/spitting machine that was Racing Club of Buenos Aires
