Celtic Fan Survey
The recently released Celtic Fan Survey, with over 38,768 supporters responding to this question, provided some clarity into where supporters were getting their Celtic FC news from just over 18 months ago. Since then newspaper circulations have fallen further and that is a terminal decline.
In the 1970s and 80s The Sunday Mail would sell over 1m copies per week, with Sunday Post being a close rival and the biggest daily newspaper was Daily Record with a circulation of around 800k, selling six days a week.
The most record circulation figures published on trade outlet Press Gazette, shows that for October 2025 these three newspapers now sell just over 100k copies per edition COMBINED. The Daily Record is selling 38,228 copies per edition, The Sunday Mail shifts 35,328 copies every Sunday and The Sunday Post is down to just 27,109 copies. The year on year decrease is 17% for Daily Record and Sunday Post and 20% for Sunday Mail.
This has commonly been the case since the 1950s and 1960s, especially with the first publication of the Celtic View. The rise of the internet age has again altered how this happens. No-one knows for sure what the next change will be, but it surely won’t be long before someone suggests implants which send messages straight to your brain!
