According to this, we were once nicknamed the pacers due to that rather sickly sweet you could get in the late 70s, early 80s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacers_(confectionery)

I remember the sweet having a rather corny advert that finished, "Atkins come out and bring your pacers with you", but never have I heard Celtic's name being mentioned with it. Did I miss something or is it just wiki tosh ?
Never heard that before either.

The last Nike kit for us was always referred to as the Pacers kit but I've never heard of it as a nickname for Celtic. Quite like it though, sounds like something off an old scarf patch. :lol:

Would be nice if the club bought this.

Celtic fans get chance to own club's first EVER winners medal worn by James McLaughlin

By RYAN McDONALD

CELTIC'S first EVER winner's medal will go under the hammer at a Glasgow auction next month.

The gong was presented to ex-Celt James McLaughlin after the Hoops won the Glasgow North-Eastern Cup on May 11 1889 before it was later passed on to grandson Bill.

Parkhead legend McLaughlin played a key role for Willie Maley's side in the 6-1 against Cowlairs to help the club scoop their first ever trophy.

And experts are predicting the memento - regarded as one of the most important football medals in existence - could be sold for between £10-20k.

McLaughlin played for Celtic for two seasons as a full-back and then a goalkeeper.

The Scot made his debut in the first ever Old Firm game against Rangers on May 28 1888, which the Hoops won 5-2.

The medal will be the star attraction in McTear's Work of Art Auction on August 12.

Interesting summary of an interview with Agger here on why he stopped playing football when he did. He has some words on Brendan as well...

Lots of 'lets wait and see'. Would like to think that behind closed doors they have a plan, but it is Doncaster.

Good article. Not anything we didn't know but nice to read about style, substance and a great manager rather than all the Warburton crap that is printed daily.
