It depends on the tour but the true fan will see what it’s like for their hero. Next time they see them play they can imagine what is going on behind the scenes.

Scotland Football Book Gift in 5 Words:

History, Drama, Personalised, Hampden, Victory

Do you know a Scottish football fan? Do you want to give him a memorable gift? This book is the answer…

Great History

This book from GoneDigging kicks off in 1921 with Scotland’s 3-0 victory over England and then charts the glory and the pain of the national side up to the present day. Other notable victories over England are included including the 3-1 thumping of England in front of a record Hampden Park crowd of 149,407 in 1937.

See more of the book: Scotland Football Book

Gift with a Personal Touch

Each of these books is available in a range of covers to suit all pockets. I like the least expensive one the best with its ‘linen type’ effect. Add a name and a message to the front page for free. Spend a few more pounds and gold emboss the front cover. That’s worth every penny as it makes a massive impact and this gift unique.

Get the wee man a Celtic FC footy gift; a unique book covering 100 years of Celtic history…

Celtic Gift in 5 Words

Hoops, Embossed, Nostalgia, Winners, Dalglishhhhhhhh!

Celtic FC Gift of the Year

All fans of Parkhead will appreciate a good blather about the glorious and dramatic moments created by Dalglishhhhhh and all the other heroes of this historic club. We recommend this newspaper book personalised for the fan in your life.

The Celtic FC Football Book

What’s great about this book is all the lost moments and the key stories that it brings back. Maybe the 2:1 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final is a bit of ancient history but a true fan MUST know all the facts! Something we really like is the more human stories like Jock Stein becoming manager in 1965.

GoneDigging are now offering three different covers and prices so you could go for the linen cover (my favourite), the leatherette, or the luxury cover. Great book – great choices!

Celtic Football Book Gift

All in the Name

Put your dad, son, daughter, or mum’s name in a calendar dedicated to Celtic legends. This is great for their ego and they’ll feel part of Parkhead. We like the name in the advertising hoarding.

Have a look here: Celtic Legends Calendar

Fan Diary

A similar idea to the calendar; you get a diary full of Celtic heroes and dad’s name etc integrated into images. Great for organisation and a really neat Celtic souvenir.

Celtic Thrash Everyone!

Love this; a big bold headline and a story of how Celtic beat the world or any rival. Just pop over to this site and type-in ‘Celtic’ and their name, plus a few other details and they can have a fun framed newspaper PROVING that Celtic is the best.
