The Man Who Saved Celtic | A View from the Terrace | BBC Scotland

In the early 1990s when the club was deep in debt, Celtic fans hoped enigmatic Canadian, Fergus McCann, would come to their rescue.

We’re also on other channels too!

hes the reason the club is where they are today or even in existence and yet he was booed after stopping ten in a row, outrageous!

[scotchy]

The game is over the rebels have won god bless wee Fergus

[izzihusenne]

The only honest man to ever grace football!

[jackm]

Fergus Mcann an absolute hero. I don’t think people mention him enough! 🇳🇬

[coffee]

This freaked me out, I thought Fergus had died!

[TheBlaert]

An absolute legend. So many zombies on here shouting about Pacific Shelf 595. Do us a favour and actually take the time to learn why the name was changed...

[spennie]

The idiots who booed him at the flag raising should be ashamed of themselves

[mickybhoy]

celtic owed the bank 6m the zombies owed 12m but the bank forces us to pay it back???

[ellagrace]

It seems it has gone full circle, with the present board, seemingly on a par with the Kelly's Etc. Lawwell as an instance of the biscuit tin mentality.

[glawlllar]

Imagine supporters allowing their club die. What kind of supporters would allow that?

[pifflepockle]

Auld Miss Kelly, my chemistry teacher fae the Mungo going in the front door there. The cheek I gave her during all this 😂😂😂

Why he hasn’t got a statue outside parkhead I will never know

[crawbaw]

I loved this man, but the fans hated him. I grew up with the old stadium and was a season ticket holder throughout Fergus era. ❤️

I personally think this man should have a statue next to big Cesar.

If it wasn’t for him there wouldn’t be Celtic.

God Bless the Legend ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦

Good watch can you do the man who saved rangers next 😅

[Jie]

The Game Is Over, The Rebels Have Won.

Something other clubs supporters could only dream of.

[paulhughes]

He saved our club what a. Man .with Brian dempsie hail hail hail the bonnet

[james]

Dermot we will fly our flags WE ARE CELTIC, , , , you are merely a custodian.

[leannecampbell]

How times changed, the Govan bigots passed away (rest well) and the Rebels went on to dominate Scottish football once more! :)

[DannyBhoy]

Celtic were never going into liquidation that's rubbish. A pal of mine was invited to a party at livingstone airport, believing that Gerald Weisfelt would be the new owner of celtic. He wasn't the only contender, there were several consortium involved. Don't believe all you read or hear.

[pauldocherty]

Get a stand named after him or a statue
