If You Know The History - A play by Jim Orr

After the high of the centenary season in 1988, Celtic had been going through a bit of a sticky patch, but a rare victory over their great rivals Rangers in the cup in March 1990, was cause for optimism.

So, picture this: Celtic had just come off the high of their centenary season in 1988, but things had gone a bit... wobbly since then. However, in March 1990, Celtic finally managed to beat Rangers in the cup, and suddenly, hope was alive again!

Now, fast forward to that night, and there’s the Devlin family—Celtic daft, of course—celebrating in their Croy home. Everything’s going great until there’s a knock at the door. Who’s there? A very strange man… wearing a bunnet… and let me tell you, this guy had a plan!

And from that moment, everything changes. Celtic history? Never the same again. The next few years would be an emotional rollercoaster for every Celtic fan. And trust me, you’re going to want to follow along as the Devlins and this bunnet-wearing mystery man take you on a wild ride in the new comedy play, And If You Know The History.

Oh, and by the way, this play’s from the same writer who brought you Bend it like Brattbakk—which Tom Boyd himself called “loads of laughs all the way through”—and Bend it like Bertie, which Lisbon Lion John Fallon said, “every generation of Celtic supporters will absolutely love.”

Buckle up—it’s going to be a belter!
