Abstract
This project examines the role that Celtic Football Club plays in the reproduction, maintenance and expression of Irishness for its supporters. The data was collected from a purposive sample of 8 respondents by means of interviews, and a grounded theory approach was used as the method of data analysis. The study examines social identity, Irish identity, ritual, symbolism and the history of Celtic Football Club. Ultimately it finds that supporters of Celtic Football Club express their interpretation of Irish identity in varying ways. The study received ethical approval from the University of Limerick AHSS Research Ethics committee.
