The Immortals is a passionate love letter to Celtic FC, by turns ecstatic and distressed, angry and joyous, but always obsessed. After the disappointment in 2021 of failing to complete the fabled ten-in-a-row league titles, the author took solace in researching causes for celebration from Celtic' s proud past. His starting point was the rallying cry that ' two nines are better than one' , and the book' s centrepieces are stories of both of Celtic' s nine-in-a-row triumphs. On his journey he discovered darkness and despair as well as derring-do and delight, the extremes of emotion inevitable in all love affairs. He uncovered the evils of the Irish Holocaust and the poverty of Glasgow' s East End that preceded Celtic' s foundation, the dubious conduct of Celtic' s money-men, as well as the ' miracles' of the immortals among the club' s founding fathers, its dynasties, managers and players. The book takes us on a pilgrimage through time with faithful hope for the future.
Phillip Vine divides his time between writing fiction and books about sport. He is the author of Visionary: Manchester United, Michael Knighton and the Football Revolution 1989-2019, and has another book, Crossing the Lines: Milestone Moments in Modern Sport, due for release by Pitch. He is currently writing a novel, White Horse, about a group of friends who make a pilgrimage to watch the inaugural FA Cup Final at Wembley in 1923.
