The 2007/08 season is going right down to the wire thanks to the Bhoys' last two wins against Rangers. Join us at Paddy's for the last few games as there's bound to be more twists and turns in this year's title race! And look out soon for details on our Events page of the end of season party..

The Celtic and Scottish football community has been shocked by the death of former Celt, Phil O'Donnell. The Tokyo CSC wishes to extend his family sincere condolences on behalf of the global Celtic community.

Every one of Celtic's SPL games is again being shown live in season 2007/08 at our sponsor, Paddy Foley's Irish pub in Roppongi, Tokyo. Come down and enjoy the craic! Keep an eye on our Events page for details of club-supported games - please note that due to the wide dispersal of our members across Tokyo and surrounds and the late kickoffs, we can't get to every game..

Celtic secured another historic league and Cup double with a 1-0 victory over Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup final on 26th May, also the night of the Tokyo CSC's end of season party! Shunsuke Nakamura was the runaway winner in the Player of the Season Awards (click here for all the details) while pics of the night are available via this link.. Another 31,000 yen was also raised on the night for our supported charity, Carillon Children's House - see our Charity page for more info.

You couldn't make it up - after looking like we were going to have to wait another week to secure the league title, and with barely seconds left in the game away to Kilmarnock, up steps Japan's top bhoy Shunsuke Nakamura with another stunning free kick to win the league for Celtic! And it's not just us who think he's Scotland's best - he was voted so by the Scottish Professional Footballers Association.

Hit by injury problems and key absentees, the Tokyo CSC put up a brave fight at the 2007 Footy Japan/YC&AC Charity 6s on 21st March but failed to defend our plate title won last year. The bhoys put up a brave show though, eventually going out to the Wall Street Clash. The real winner though was UNICEF with another sizeable charity donation.

Celtic's historic entry to the round of 16 in the European Champions League gave the club a mouthwatering tie against Italian giants AC Milan. TV cameras were present for the first leg and it was a huge night for all involved - as you can tell from the pics.. UEFA Champions League TV has now broadcast the show featuring our club - click here to watch it..

The result may not have been the greatest (1-1) but the Tokyo CSC saw out the year by watching at Paddy's the final Old Firm derby of 2006 on 17th December. A late equaliser from the old foe may have spoiled the occasion somewhat, but the comfort of a 16-point lead provided reassurance. See here for pics from the night.

Glasgow rockers Mogwai joined the Tokyo CSC at Paddy's for the 12th November game against St. Mirren. A hat trick from Thomas Gravesen got the bhoys a 3-1 win, no thanks to another strong performance from local hero Shunsuke Nakamura. But it was the surprise visit from the celebs that had Paddy's rocking. See Mogwai for pics from the night.

The Tokyo CSC unfurled its new flag at the 23rd September Old Firm game - another enjoyable affair with two goals from Celtic new bhoys Thomas Gravesen and Kenny Miller securing victory in the derby. Pics of the event are available here.

They came, they saw, they got humped. Celtic FC played its first match on Japanese shores on 3rd August in a friendly against Shunsuke Nakamura's former club, Yokohama F Marinos. Losing the match 3-0 was disappointing to the many thousands of bhoys fans at the game in Yokohama, especially with Naka's substitution after 65 minutes. It was particularly galling that the players failed to give their fans, some of whom had travelled from Hong Kong and elsewhere and who were in strong voice, any acknowledgement after the final whistle.

But for the Tokyo CSC, the opportunity to see the bhoys without travelling thousands of miles was a god-send, and manager Gordon Strachan gave the club a great reception during the presentation of the Tokyo CSC's player of the year awards. Our sponsor Paddy Foley's put on a great pre-match party too! The discount on tickets acquired for the Tokyo CSC's 100-odd support will help our charity, Carillon Kodomo no Ie (Carillon Children's Home) in its work to protect abused children. Come back soon bhoys, but don't forget to bow next time - it's Japan! Click here for pics of the event..

The Tokyo CSC and Celtic celebrated winning the 2005/06 SPL championship in style with a 4-1 win over Kilmarnock on 9th April. Thanks to everyone who came out to Paddy's to watch the game, and also those who contributed to our charity raffle - another 10,000 yen was raised for the children's shelter. Around 40 members of the club also went to Saitama Stadium on 13th May for the Japan v Scotland game, which finished 0-0, making the Scots the Kirin Cup champions!

The Tokyo CSC followed the example of the Glasgow bhoys by winning a trophy in the YC&AC Charity Sixes football tournament on 21st March! The bhoys went undefeated, conceding only a single goal in seven games. Hard to believe, but we've got the pictures to prove it - see Charity Sixes.

Japanese fans of the bhoys now have their own website - www.celticfc.jp Check it out for all the latest official information from Celtic Park. Bhoys fans might also want to have a look at a forum, www.celticminded.com. There's a Japanese section and over 100 Japanese fans on it already!

The tremendous news of Japan international Shunsuke Nakamura signing for Celtic generated a huge amount of interest overnight in a club and league previously generally ignored in the Land of the Rising Sun. Both local media (Fuji TV) and Scottish (BBC Scotland, Glasgow Herald, Evening Times, Scottish Sun, Radio Clyde and others) made inquiries to the Tokyo CSC for information about Celtic's new star - hopefully he can handle the pressure. Skyperfectv announced the LIVE screening of all Celtic's Scottish Premier League matches in the 2005/06 season - a first for Japan - with the first game shown Nakamura's sparkling debut against Dundee United. The momentum produced a bumper turnout at the club's first event of the new season - the 20 August Old Firm game. Unfortunately the bhoy from Yokohama was sacrificed in the 54th minute due to Alan Thompson's dismissal, and the result went against the bhoys. Our second game at Paddy's against Hearts on 15 October ended up all square, but the third one against Rangers on 19 November saw the bhoys triumph 3-0, in no small part due to our Japanese bhoy! Thanks to everyone who turned out, and also those who supported the charity raffle.

The long anticipated 2nd Buckfast Invitational golf tournament was held on July 9, 2005, in Kashiwa, organised by golfbhoy Clarkey, and what a great day out it was. Clarkey managed to win the Buckfast trophy for the second straight event, although unfortunately due to a grape shortage the winner indulged in a bottle of 20/20 instead of the monks' tonic. Three picture pages of shame are available (see Buckie Golf).

After the disappointment of the last day of the 2004/05 Scottish Premier League season, the Tokyo CSC celebrated a much better result after the club's end-of-season party on Saturday, 28 May, with victory over Dundee United in the Scottish Cup final. Yet again the bhoys kept us on edge with only a narrow 1-0 lead thanks to an Alan Thompson goal, but it proved to be enough in the end, and Martin O'Neill finished his five-year spell with Celtic on a successful note. Thanks MON for all the memories - the king is dead, long live the king! See Cup Final '05 for pics of the night.

The Tokyo CSC held its official 2003/04 end-of-season party on the night of the Scottish Cup final, held 22 May, 2004. With 2.5 hours of nomihodai and food, the 20-odd bhoys and ghirls who attended were well prepared for the 11 p.m. kickoff. And in sensational Swede Henrik Larsson's last competitive match for the Hoops, the bhoys didn't disappoint, winning 3-1 after going a goal behind thanks to two strikes from the King of Kings and another from Stan Petrov. Thanks to another raffle, for which Paddy's contributed some champagne, the Tokyo CSC raised another 12,000 yen for our sponsored charity (see the Charity page). The Tokyo CSC would like to thank Paddy Foley's for hosting us and everyone who joined the Tokyo Celts in supporting the bhoys during the League and Cup double-winning season of 2003/04. The King is dead - long live the King. Photos of the night are online at 2004 End of Season Party.

The Tokyo CSC flew the flag for Glasgow Celtic FC at the St. Patrick's Day parade in Omotesando, Tokyo, on Sunday 14 March, 2004, a day in which the Hoops were definitely the flavour (see the Photos). Sadly the lack of free Guinness put a dampener on proceedings and we hope this is rectified for next year..

Tokyo Tims Anthony, Andy, Eugene, Paul & Stevie travelled to Seville for the 21 May, 2003, UEFA Cup Final against FC Porto. Read about the preparations in The Scottish Sun article on the lhads (well Andy, anyway!). The bhoys and ghirls left behind had a big night at Paddy's, which you can witness from the Photos, including the surprise appearance of a celebrity Scottish actor!
