On This Day in Celtic’s illustrious, unbroken history there are a number of games that took place. Thanks to LilZe on Twitter, we can take a trip down memory lane and look at some of Celtic’s goals on this day in the 20th Century.
Jimmy McGrory’s Celtic side won the Scottish Cup with a 1-0 win over Motherwell at Hampden. John McPhail scored the winner.
Celtic made it 4-in-a-row with a last-minute goal from Tommy Gemmell sealing a point at Rugby Park. Going into the game needing one point from the next two matches, it was far from ideal as Stein’s side were 2-0 down at half time. An own goal from a Bobby Murdoch effort gave Celtic a lifeline before Gemmell sealed the title late on.
