Have you come across this? The five-a-side tournament at the Celtic Sports Day gets very little coverage in the press reports, listing the winner and runner-up amongst all the race results of the day. Celtic also sent five-a-side teams to other Sports Days to compete. I have copied the vast majority of Celtic Sports Day press cuttings so I have dates if anybody wants to get certain copies themselves.

Note: One interestign one is that Celtic Park once hosted an "England v Australia" rugby league international, that would be interesting: 3 Feb 1909, 17-17 score with just 3000 there Hurling Scotland v Ireland international held on 21 June 1913 Speedway 28 Apr 1928 first British speedway meeting held in the UK under "Dirt Track Auspices" Baseball 28 Spe 1918 A baseball(!) game was held at Celtic between 2 US Forces teams.
