A Mark of respect at the Celtics summer tournament

Aug 16, 2014

There was a sombre mood as Copenhagen Celtic’s summer party kicked off on Saturday following the news that one its most loyal servants, Mark Mulholland, a former barman at the John Bull pub, had died in Glasgow. He was just 49 and been a player at the club for over 20 years.
