When the Micks came over the sea from Ireland they gave them green striped shirts mostly for Celtic and when they ran out of stripes the gave the balance to Hibernian and sent them to Edinburgh.
They could never earn enough to go back so the Scots just let them stay. >:D<

What's the story behind Bloemfontein Celtic? How did such an Afrikaans place get such an Irish sounding soccer team? Anyone know?
