In 2009 Jim Scullion Celebrated his 25th Year as a working Artist with Celtic Football Club.
In an interview on Sky Television Jim Scullion claimed that he was born with two obsessions, "Painting and Celtic Football He stated that he felt "..very fortunate to be able to combine both obsessions over the years." Despite being an Internationally successful Artist Jim still lives and works in his hometown of Coatbridge. In the same interview he stated " I have had numerous offers, some of which have been very generous and certainly tempting, to work and live abroad. However, apart from my family, the one thing that makes me stay is my love of Celtic. I could never be an overseas fan, watching videos, reading newspaper reports or searching the Internet for information, nothing substitutes for watching Celtic Live.".
Jim's first official Primary School photo shows his early allegiance to Celtic Football Club. He is wearing his hand- knitted Celtic Jersey, containing the names of his heroes.
The Celtic Galleries show just some examples of over 1,000 paintings created for Celtic.
