This was my first visit to the site of the newly formed Celtic Supporters Club of Malta.I just want to say how very proud I am of all those involved in it's birth and also to tell you that it is going to be a thrill watching it go from strength to strength.
It will be over a decade ago now when I first began preaching the Celtic way to various Maltease friends on one of my many visits to those beautiful Islands.And to be fair they are good listeners because it wasn't long before a regular flow started making their way to see the Celts play,making my home their base for their regular visits.To see Simon Portelli's name on your committee list is undoubtedly my proudest momment as a Celt....from knowing nothing about the Celts 10 years ago he could now put to shame most of us with his total dedication to all that is Celtic...he really does breath green and white.As your introduction say's..." Celtic chooses you"..well,it's chose a good one here.I'm really proud of Simons love for the Celts.
So we now have representation on the Maltese Islands,,,,well not before time.and so with all my heart I want to wish you all well,in the good times and the bad,and look forward with great anticipation to the first time I visit your club.
You know ,there will be occassions in the near future when the lads who own Ryans will be saying to themselves...this was a good move creating this association with Celtic supporters:financially and otherwise...because any Celtic club...and I like you have been in them all over the globe...any club is a credit to all around it,and I know you will be too.
Good Luck..here's to you all!!!!!!
