Celtic are looking to open a new shop in Glasgow city centre.
This would be at 6-18 Queen Street (the former Next shop, near the Argyle Street corner).
This is actually an area with lots of Celtic history.

It was used by Celtic in the 1940s and 1950s to house players that had moved to Glasgow.
One notable example was Jock Weir, whose 1948 hat-trick helped save Celtic from relegation.

It was said to have helped inspire some lyrics in the Celtic Song, by Glen Daly.
This was based on Daly hearing Charlie Tully singing a Belfast Celtic song during an event at the hotel.

This was Celtic manager Willie Maley's restaurant, and effectively used as his office to run Celtic.
This building is due to be knocked down for student flats.

The Bank of Scotland (now Counting House) witnessed Celts for Change protests.
And some people say the Sundowners pub (now Drouthy's) was used for 'Save Our Celts' meetings.

It was here, in May 1889, that Celtic celebrated their first ever competition victory.
This came in the Glasgow North Eastern Cup. A 'smoking concert' was held to hand over the prizes.
