1921/22
the obverse with enamel Celtic harp motif, within Celtic cross cast with shamrocks in relief, the reverse inscribed Scottish ALLIANCE LEAGUE CHAMPS. CELTIC F.C. J. MURPHY 1921-22,
Note: Murphy signed for Celtic from East Kilbride in 1921. Whilst he appeared to have played his part in securing the 1921/22 Alliance League, first XI appearances were few and far between. This is still a historic and beautifully crafted medal relating to one of those men who had the chance to pull on the hoops.
