    Tuesday, July 27 will begin the official Celtic Supporters events in Philadelphia. Finnigan’s Wake, located at 3rd & Spring Garden Street will be the official Celtic Supporters Headquarters for the build up to the Celtic v Manchester United match.

    We have partnered to bring the No. 1 Glasgow Celtic Band in the World, Charlie & the Bhoys to Philadelphia for this Global reunion of Celtic Supporters.

    The party will begin at 7:00pm with the Philadelphia Premiere of the Jinky Johnston, Lord of the Wing Movie on the third floor. The documentary film charts the football career of Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone, a Celtic and Scotland hero of the '60s and '70s.

    In what he describes as “an immense honour”, Billy Connolly narrates the true-life story of one of the sporting world’s greatest icons: a man known as “the flea” in the East and “Jinky” in the West, this is a tale of exhilaration and desperation, of joy and immense sadness; of a man who had the world literally at his feet, until that world turned upside down.

    Join the Molly Maguires CSC for all of the Official Celtic Supporters events in Philadelphia!
