30 years ago this very month Scots-Canadian businessman Fergus McCann swept into Celtic Park and secured the clubs very existence with an eleventh hour investment that would alter the course of Celtic’s history for ever.
A move such as that however can’t be engineered by just one man and many figures played a key role in what eventually took place on that day back on the 4th of March 1994.
In this special new series by The Celtic Exchange we speak to some of those individuals as we bring you the inside stories of what unfolded during that incredible time in Celtic history.
We’re looking at the story from all angles and first up is Matt McGlone, one of five individuals who formed the “Celts For Change” pressure group in a bid to mobilise supporters in their battle to wrestle back control of the club from those who had run it perilously close to extinction.

Adam Idah’s Hampden winner at the weekend means Celtic have now lifted the Scottish Cup Trophy 42 times in our fabled history – and Matt Corr’s been there for almost half of those!

The Celtic Author & Historian has experiences of being amongst crowds of over 100,000 at the National Stadium in the 70s, right up until our most recent triumph and joins us here on The Celtic Exchange to tell us of his Top 5 (ish!) Scottish Cup memories.

Matt’s no stranger to a trip to Hampden but right now he’s on the eve of a very different type of trip in the name of Celtic, but it’s one that’s equally special in its own way.

Along with a dozen other volunteers Matt and his brother Robert will be travelling to Malawi with Celtic FC Foundation to support the incredible work carried out there by Classrooms For Malawi (CFM) organisation.

It’s one which has been a few years in the making and Matt in his capacity as author, historian and all round knowledge in Celtic is offering something a little different in his efforts to raise funds for this most worthwhile of causes.
