Remember this day, i was visiting a friend in Dumfries with another mate, who were Gers fans, we were sitting in a pub when final score came up on grandstand, none of us could believe it, what a night we had

I was over at my sister's on the south side of Dublin with my stomach in a knot waiting for the scores to come up on Grandstand. That excellent Irishman Des Lynam didn't let me down when he announced the scores with a knowing smile and said, "Celtic are champions". My nephews to this day remember me running about the living room roaring with delight. Just kids, they thought this was hysterical. A great, great day! God bless Albert Kidd. 🇮🇪

Incredible how competitive Scottish football was at that point. Looks like huge crowds at places like Tannadice & Easter Road, too

I love the music that introduces these 'Great Celtic Days' videos, and the piano solo at the end of this one is a belter. Another fine piece of work sir!

As a Hearts fan that was at every game that season - I truly appreciate your objective presentation of an unforgettable day in Dundee. We'll done. HHGH.

11:42 This is a goal which the 1970 Brazil team would love to have scored!


P.S. The official attendance at this game, including all of the "I was there" claimants, was 1, 285, 746.

In my eyes, one of the best Celtic triumphs of them all, in a pub in Motherwell that strangely had a lot of Hearts fans in it, but when Hearts score came through I went ballistic and a skinny 17 year old slaughtered Motherwell's finest bigots then onto the Craigneuk Club for what was a night and a half!!!

I never went to the game and I regret it to this day I remember in a pub in Bellshill a guy ( Rangers fan ) literally toppled a Pool table over on its side when the Celtic score came through 😂
