St Mirren 0 Celtic 5 1986 (God Bless Albert Kidd)

The league clincher in '86 while Hearts were being beaten by Dundee thanks to 2 goals from Albert Kidd.
This is still my favourite Celtic game ever.

McGrain involved at the start, and the end of the move that led to the third goal. Danny was truly world class 💚🤍🧡💚🤍🧡💚🤍🧡

Best Celtic away kit ever.. The memories of that day will live with me forever 🍀

Aye, I've got similar feeling about ma Grandad, he too was a Jambo and is also sadly not with us anymore. I don't think I'd ever saw him more disconsolated over anything. While it was personally one of the greatest days in my life as a Celtic supporter, I kind of look back and think how much more it meant to Hearts and their fans and in retrospect one less title wouldn't make much difference to us, you just knew we'd have another day, but for Hearts it meant everything.

3rd goal "one of the goals of the season".

One of the goals of all time!!

And the 4th wasn't too bad either.

It was quite common for fans to bring a transistor radio to the match - especially for a league decider. I was there that day. I had no right to think Celtic could do it but that just had a wee sneaking feeling that we'd win the league. I have a tinge of sadness now about my delight. My father, now dead, was a Hearts fan.

what great memories, i was there, great kit, great goals and the biggest unexpected ending to a season ever. no one expected hearts to lose, the most unlikely of titles was won as celtic were nowhere 8 games earlier, we needed to win our final 8 games, seeing as we had only won 12 out of our previous 28 it seemed well beyond us, but we done it.

What a day! Standing beside a guy who was listening to a radio.There was a commotion in front of us, some thought Dundee had scored.He looked at me and said "it's only a corner" then went mental.What a feeling.

[Rightbyme]

The goals are terrific.. I was 12 yr old but remember this day really well.. unbelievable

[stephenmcdowell]

Never ever gets old. The Hearts match is hilarious too.

[mikekeelan]

Third goal was world class. Shame it was scored by that Judas tuck though

[paulcawkwell]

I was at this game and i dont think i will ever forget the experience.I remember waking up that day not knowing wether to bother with going to Love St as all Hearts had to do was draw but Celtic had to score a few goals.The tickets had already been bought and off we went to the game.I remember the amount of Celtic fans in the ground had spilled on to the trackside at the Celtic end, ah those were the days u could squeeze more in that allowed lol.

Great day I was at game with my brother and big Hughie McKinney I was meant to go night shift on the railway tracks that night but went to the Royal Oak in nitshill to party all night with the rest pollok willowford celtic supporters what a memory ☘️☘️☘️☘️

[MrMallorcaboy]

what a day, i was there. some great goals that day, 3rd and 4rth especially. i never thought hearts would lose and that the season we would end up empty handed. was a difficult inconsistant season but we won the last 8 games and took the title.

I was 9yrs old, met Billy Connelly on the way to the game with my dad, even remember the referee's name ( Waddell ), ended up on the pitch at the end with my old only other game that was as good as this was the Baca with when Tony Watt scored. ..COYBIG

[danielmcglade]

Our 3rd is still one of the best goals scored on any football pitch period

[charliesaiz]

I was playing an away game in Possil that day on the way back on a bus full of Orcs me and two others had a rather jovial time ramming it right up them hehe

[sweatymrkim]

A forklift couldn't have moved the carry out we bought that night. I was the only one that made my work on the Monday. Memories.🍀.
