Celtic have been involved in some special games throughout their proud history, but one against Ireland was particularly poignant.
The connection between the Emerald island and the Hoops is well-known to everyone, which is why a famous friendly was set up in 1924.
It was technically against an Irish Free State XI but was more of an FAI XI in a bid to raise funds for a team to go to the summer Olympics in Paris.
