Celtic legend Tom Boyd will join the cast of “Celtic: The Musical” which opens a five-night run at Derry’s Millennium Forum tonight.
After sell-out performances in Glasgow, the show features the songs that have rung round Celtic Park over the years (performed by a live band), and tells the amazing story of this legendary club.
It takes audiences on an emotion-charged journey from the foundation of the football club by Brother Walfrid and its charitable origins through Willie Maley's legendary successes as manager and the scoring feats of Jimmy McGrory.
From the wing wizardry of Jimmy Johnstone to the triumphs of the immortal Jock Stein and the lasting legacy left by icons such as Billy McNeill, Tommy Burns and Henrik Larsson.
The cast includes Paul Samson (River City), Julie Duncanson (River City, Waterloo Road) and Keith Warwick (My Parents Are Aliens).
They will be joined on the Forum stage by former club captain, Tom Boyd.
Boyd (pictured), who won 72 caps with Scotland, made over 300 appearances for Celtic from 1992-2003, winning three league titles.
During Martin O'Neill's first season in charge Boyd played a significant part in the securing of a domestic treble, only the third in the club's history.
He became only the second Celtic captain (after Billy McNeill) to skipper the club in a treble winning season.
The show will run at the Forum from to Saturday next.
