The Sporting Auction | Part Two: The Celtic Story
ALEC MCNAIR OF CELTIC F.C., GLASGOW CHARITY CUP WINNERS GOLD MEDAL
1912
the obverse with central crest bordered by inscription GLASGOW CHARITY CUP 1912, the reverse with Classical scene and inscribed CHARITY, inscribed to rim, WON BY CELTIC F.C. A. MCNAIR, in morocco box
Note: With a career spanning two decades, McNair is rightly viewed as one of the club's most loyal servants. Indeed, his 684 appearances are only topped by Ceasar himself, Billy McNeill.
This comes from a Glasgow Charity Cup victory. Interestingly, the game vs. Clyde on 13th May 1912 ended a goalless draw. Without a replay, the match was decided on corners - Celtic winning 7-2.
