Starring Raymond Mearns and Bruce Morton.

Pat and Danny, two Celtic supporting childhood pals now in their early seventies, older men who view life through a green and white prism. They live in the past, they resent everyone under thirty and manage to find negatives in everything their team achieves. They are what's disparagingly known as Celtic Da's.

A recent health scare results in Pat experiencing a lapse in his football fanaticism and a stark re-evaluation of a lifetime spent as a Celtic fan. A confused Danny cannot understand his pal's sudden mood swing and gradually their long-standing match day routine becomes the backdrop to a darkly comedic discourse where they both come to question their Celtic-mindedness, their politics, their hopes, dreams, fears, values and above all else, their evolution from young and gallous into Celtic Da's.

Raymond Mearns

Raymond is a comedian, actor, writer and musician. Following his appearances on BBC's Limmy's Show, Raymond is bringing some much-needed mirth and merriment to the airts and pairts of Scotland. And he is definitely the man for the job. Whether engaged in hilarious audience interaction or simply sending down more gags per minute than a Glasgow circuit judge, Raymond's shows are unmissable. 'A personality so huge it fills the room' (The List) 'Every line that issues from this man is funny' (www.Chortle.co.uk) 'Exceptionally funny and cathartic' (The Scotsman) 'A genuine improvisational genius' (Frankie Boyle).

Bruce Morton

Scotland’s acclaimed comic, storyteller and social commentator was a founder of the Funny Farm Comedy Collective which in 1989 helped kick-start the Scottish stand-up scene. Since then Bruce has been a stalwart of the Scottish comedy scene and his contributions, though too many to list, include Rab C. Nesbitt, The Funny Farm and The Late Show.Bruce is regular on radio and a freelance writer to boot with articles in The Herald, Scotsman, Big Issue and The Guardian to name a few. He has also written and performed in various theatre productions through the years. A mix of wry intelligence and devastating one-liners keeps him ahead of the herd.
