Celtic stage show planned to put Rangers legend at centre of celebrations before actor Peter Mullan stepped in

It was the theatre show created to mark Celtic’s glittering Centenary Season in 1988.
But one of Scotland’s most successful actors has told how producers narrowly avoided a mis-step that would have put a Rangers legend at the heart of the Hoops’ celebrations.
Actor and director Peter Mullan, who appeared onstage in The Celtic Story in 1988, has revealed how he and co-star Davie McKay stepped in to prevent a Rangers legend taking the limelight onstage at Glasgow’s Pavilion.
Stars of Billy McNeill’s double-winning team, including Frank McAvennie, Paul McStay, Pat Bonner and Billy Stark, surprised audiences at the end of the show each night by emerging from a birthday cake holding the Scottish Cup on stage.
When the production ran out of Celtic players, the late David MacLennan, who founded the show’s production company Wildcat, had an idea.
Mullan said: “David, God bless him, suggested John Greig [the former Rangers manager and player]. Me and David McKay were the only big Celtic fans in the cast, and suggested it might not be a great idea.
“Celtic had just won the double, I’m not sure any Celtic fans had much against John Greig but they definitely didn’t want him coming out of a cake holding the Scottish Cup we’d just won.”
He added: “It was a great experience, bonkers. There were signs up everywhere saying ‘no drinking, no photography’ and literally when you walked on stage, everybody was opening beer cans and you’d be in the middle of a scene and somebody would be taking a picture. It was hilarious. I loved it.”
Mullan has since gone on to become one of the most successful actors and filmmakers in Scotland, making films like Neds and The Magdalene Sisters, with roles in My Name Is Joe and Harry Potter.

‘Luzifer’ Review: Franz Rogowski Stars In Peter Brunner’s Chilling Arthouse Drama
Around the secluded mountainside cabin in the Austrian Alps where filmmaker Peter Brunner sets his fierce and freakish “Luzifer,” every day is sacred. As Christians so intensely devout that they don’t even seem to belong to any sect, in particular, Johannes (Franz Rogowski) and his mother (Susanne Jensen) have taken to this hidden-away refuge as if literal altitude will bring them closer to God.
