Do these photos from 1959 spark memories for you?
Celtic met Wolverhampton Wanderers in October, and it was an important occasion.
Not because of the match itself, which was a friendly, but because it was being held to mark the switching on of the Parkhead floodlights for the first time.
Apparently, fans watched in awe.

Bertie Peacock was the Celtic captain.
Elsewhere in 1959, we photographed Celtic’s Bertie Auld in action.
Rangers’ Bobby Shearer was battling hard against Dunfermline when our photographers went to capture the action.
These Rangers players (left to right) Jimmy Millar, Bobby King, Ralp Brand, Eric Caldow, Harold Davis, Billy Stevenson and Andy Matthew were hard at work when we got access to a training session.
