Been asked by a Twitter follower what my favourite Celtic moments were. There are many but I will go for four games/events I was actually at.
(1) Celtic Park for our 3-1 victory in April 1967 over Dukla Prague in the first leg of European Cup semi-final! For a wee Bhoy this was an exhilarating experience. Walking down London Road holding my late dad’s hand & continually looking back at the four column floodlights, thinking, this is very, very special. A total Celtic brain imprint!
(2) Charlie Nicholas scoring a last minute goal against Ajax in Amsterdam in 1982 putting us through in Europe by winning 2-1 after we drew the first leg at Celtic Park 2-2 with the great Cryuff playing!
(3) Stopping any possible ‘10’ happening in final game against St Johnstone in May 1988. Henrik’s early goal settled the nerves in our 2-0 victory sealing the Championship!
(4) Outside Celtic Park in the driving rain on the night of March 4th 1994, when the old board collapsed after the successful ‘Celts for Change’ fans campaign to rid the Club of them. Brian Dempsey came out to address the cheering fans and was told by Fergus McCann to say “The game (pause), the game is over, the rebels have won”. Sheer fan power paved the way for the money men to come in!
There are many more, but the above are 4 wonderful occasions for me!
