    That Ajax game was unreal. We must've had 8 thousand or something in that top tier behind the goal..

    One of my favourite trips easy..

    One of the best games I've ever seen was us beating FC Tirol 6-3 to go through eventually..

    6-2 was my first huns game..

    Stopping the 10 best I've ever seen Celtic Park rocking was like 3 to a seat where we were. On the pitch after getting my bit of turf as well :giggle1:

    Impossible to pick one at the age of 56 but in no particular order -

    Tannadice to win for Tommy, Love street 5 nil and hearing kidd had scored, 1988 season had some late winners, Stopping the 10, beating Ajax, beating Juventus, beating barca,beating real madrid, beating leeds utd* beating blackburn liverpool etc even the final, beating the orcs 6-2, Rogic goal v aberdeen, * even beating Airdrie 1 * nil was a massive result/game.

    I'm just happy to have been present to witness* the history being made and added too.

    *(I wasnt even 2 years old then but was carried into the ground that night as the baby sitter cancelled so i didn't witness much at that age tbf but gonna claim it lol).

    Cheese alert!
    From memory as Billy connolly once said - Friends, family, wifes, partners, they may all come and go during our lifes but the constant is Celtic.

    That Scottish cup final was third on my list. Incredible in hindsight how important that felt compared to what we expect nowadays.

    Man Utd 1-0 is up there. Honestly in more recent times that 3-0 under the lights against the Huns is one.

    It is, the change turnaround is staggering. Now the best we can moan about is doing better in europe/* on the board, when back then just winning the SC against * airdrie was massive and it wasnt even a given we would beat them on the day.

    Was at that st mirren game. From memory, last game of the season, Aberdeen had to beat the huns by 5 goals and we had to draw for Aberdeen to win the league. Aberdeen were 4 up at half time. Lol. Great day.

    I was going to say the 4-2 game in 79 when ten men won the league, but wasn’t allowed to go as I was 8!

    For all you young whippersnappers on here, the BBC lost the film that night! They lost it from Celtic Park to Botanic Avenue! Lost it! Imagine that?

    Would they have lost it if Dead Cheats FC had won the league that night?

    You have to remember that between 1966 and 1986 that mob only won the league 3 times, yes only 3 times. Imagine how angry and bitter the majority of the bigots in Scotland felt about that? Maybe the same as they feel about us currently wiping the floor with Sevco.

    The only footage that exists is grainy pictures from the Celtic Film Club.

    Ten Men Won The League!

    We played Dundee utd once and Nakamura played like prime Zidane, I recorded it on sky and showed all my mates who had no interest in football. I pretended it was on live every time.

    6 - 2 game. After years of struggling against them and watching them win so many titles (wim year the exception, although even then we only beat them once that season iirc), it felt like a momentous moment, like the balance of power was about to shift. 24 years on and it's never really shifted back. It felt big then and it still is now looking back.

    Ajax 1, Celtic 2. Nicholas and McCluskey over in Amsterdam think it was 1982. I might be a year out but that was my best game ever. Travelled over from Barrhead with the Barrhead Emerald. Some crew if any of them are still around.

    I will never forget beating Leeds at a mega packed out Hampden as it got it right up the usual pompous English media who thought we'd no chance against the champions of england. I will also never forget beating the huns 4-2 to win the league with 10 men. I actually broke two ribs as I got crushed against the old wooden barriers when we scored the 4th goal. We all made a mad rush to the Crystal Bells after the game (me in mega pain) to watch the highlights on bbc but the feckers somehow lost the tape.

    Grand old team to play for
    Loved the 3 - 2 game at Ibrokes when Jozo got sent off at 2 - 2. Then Brendan brought French Eddie on and he scored a couple of minutes later. 6 - 2 was probably the best for me though: had a perfect side on view of Larsson chipping Klos - was magnificent. That moment will be etched into my brain forever.
