Centenary Champions: 23rd April 1988

On this day in 1988, Celtic beat Dundee 3-0 to clinch the Champsionship in their Centenrary Season

[@leannecampbell4551]

Incredible touch by the Pars fans with that Happy B'day banner, you would never in a million years get any away fans doing such a thing like that these days. Even the integrity of Football fans was special back then was a different level entirely to the past 30 years.

[@blombardo907]

I remember that day like yesterday

I was there in 1988 against Dundee, aged 18, in the Celtic End.

[@rogerarthur6571]

My first trip to Celtic, its a long trek from Southampton, been many times since. HH.

[@josibhoyoneil5958]

Thanks for video. I was 15 and one the first on the pitch grabbed grass that I stuck in my pocket. Just had my 50th so thanks for this dear memory that I loved revisiting. Hail hail

[@CrowTails88]

Was 14 up in loft getting old radio signal the youth of today have no idea how hard it was to listen to a game from rural northumberland best league season ever

[@gerrycoogan6544]

6:14 - The Maestro's pass! One of the best I've ever seen. Up there with Bobby Murdoch and George Connelly at their peak!

[@spreadthelove77]

My memories of that day v Dundee were: Singing Happy Birthday Dear Celtic. The utter joy of Walkers 2 rapid goals. One of those little blue cars you used to get sitting behind the goals. Fans sitting round the track. My 11 year old lungs and diaphragm feeling crushed as I tried to see in the Rangers End. Looking at it through an adults eyes now, that could have been a Hillsborough-type event with how many people crammed, and I mean CRAMMED in. Still the happiest season of my Celtic supporting life💚 Thanks for the video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@patrickmclaughlin8424]

That motherwell game was my 3rd celtic game and the first time we'd won 😂 .... my dad may he RIP took me too all the home games that season but i wasnt allowed to go too the two rangers games my mum wudnt have it 😅😅😅 🍀🍀🍀

[@stephenfitzpatrick4632]

Remember it vividly. Beautifully captured here. As a 16 year old I followed them home and away that season. Unforgettable memories.

[@jk12114]

Aye it was a great year 😂

[@smithsfamily9910]

I was there that day💚incredible atmosphere and a great team at the time. Hail Caesar ☘️💚✊

[@HePlaysThePiano]

lovely video and narration .... especially watching it the day after winning the Scottish Cup for the 41st time .... the story continues ......

[@garymacleod5071]

The noise that day nearly blew the top of my head..... Was still walking up the steps when we went 1-0 up... And was still celebrating the second when the third went in.. Only seen one goal😁🍀💚🍀

[@johnjordan3768]

I ran on the park that day,as a 13 year old.A great day.🙏🍀🏆

[@tomkeegan4880]

MacAvennie wot a player.Just loved watching him score.Specially at Hampden in the cup final. HH KTF.

[@IronBhoy]

I really enjoyed that. It was a walk down memory lane for me. I remember at Dunfermline early in that season cheering on Chris Morris and could see he was a committed player running up and down the wing. I knew we had a team that could win the league that day. 💚🍀💚

[@martintierney5397]

Nice work, great memories. I made the centenary statue that stands in the main entrance. The one with the two players and the shamrock. It was just 8 years earlier when Celtic played Real Madrid and I can verify that the capacity for that game was limited to 67,000 and it wasn't at all crushed. If you think that the same stadium had held upwards of 80,000 it might give some context. It was the only game I ever attended with my da' and we had plenty of space at that 67000. And we won 2-0. Oh what a night. That was in the last 8 too and indeed the last time we would get that far.

[@celticberts3207]

Was at the match was 15 at the time on the pitch with my friend took some of the turf home..80 thousand at least. Great memories 🙂👍💚🍀

[@billybollocks1532]

What A Fantastic Season That Was

[@ThefightingCelt]

I was there. I had to stand in the Rangers end. There was at least 70,000 there. I met uncles and cousins who hadn't been to a Celtic game since the early 70s. You couldn't move . The result was never in doubt .

[@stiofandundealgan1280]

I was 20 yo in 1988 ; a beautiful anniversary for the Celtic and for me !

[@collinsstewart3073]

[@briancavanagh9649]

A hh what a memory it seemed at the time that the double was written in stars that season. Brother Walfrid looking down from Paradise onto Paradise no doubt

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Jimmy Johnstone and Dixie Deans, my earliest football memories, my dad almost having a fit at any dodgy decision then jumping for Joy when they scored.

[@markyule408]

Great memories,, great video 🍀💚🍀💚🍀

[@HenryRaeburn367]

Shortly after Hay was sacked I was sitting in the Celtic stand watching the game against I think it was motherwell or Hamilton who was sitting behind me Davy Hay, I asked him what's he doing sitting with us mere mortals he replied that he was a Celtic fan also and had to pay at the turnstiles to watch the game, a week before he was sitting in the dugout HH 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️

[@georgesmith6969]

Was at the game,must have been over 70000 there even although the capacity was only 67000

[@paulbryson1692]

I at that game with my brother what an amazing team no players bought by stealing money from her majesties revenue and customs sad that the clubs' misdeeds were allowed to stand but it was truly fantastic the day we won the league having been written off by the scots press establishment at the start that seasons THE CROWD WAS IN EXCESS OF 80.000 OR MORE HAVEING been to many old firm games at paradise this was at least the biggest crowd i had to see at the Celtic park ever and followed Celtic boy and man CHAMPIONS

[@manaburden2909]

That was fairy tale stuff..... My cousin got tickets to the quarters at Easter road..... Man hearts and then United in the final.... Brilliant.... I was at them all..... Also the last game that season was dundee... At parkhead Never forget it.... Aye brilliant..... We had no right either..... Wee .miller won the next year's cup.... Well Chris woods really but.... A hairy couple of year followed.... .. But we got through it.... PTSD & All

[@alfiekelly5914]

The year before me and 2 pals skipped the train down to Euston station.... We had about 90p between us.... I think it was something to do with Charlie's transfer to arsenal....

Hector was in the cabin next to us.....& Aye He was effing shouting awrite.......Tickets... There wasn't a lot of people in our cabin....... Maybe 20 give or take.... Seconds later were in a British rail toilet Dubbed right up...And a swear he's outside banging an shoutin about tickets....honest..... And see the 20 folk in the cabin they need up in the toilet wae Us..... oh ffs man honest....... You couldn't make this up.... See 5 minutes after getting aff the train..... We walked down and seen the crowd of fans in trafalgar Sq.....I can still see that.... Right after that me and the other 11 yr old stopped plod on the street told them what happened.....they took us to cannon row copper station..... And then ma maw and steeped had to come and get us......in a 15 yr old return cherry....And believe me when I say that was an journey and a hauf.......

[@garyduffy5953]

Fabulous. Love Celtic.

[@CharlesFulston]

A was there as a prod. Just because ma drink buddies were off. A had a young boy on ma shoulders as his da was drunk. Mad the wee man day bouncing at the songs. But a defo did, nt sing a word. Also on the pitch. Hope a never do that again.

[@starofdavid9919]

Great memories but on the subject of attendances at Celtic park in those days, Celtic had a very annoying habit of stating attendances well below what they actually were bearing in mind you paid cash at the turnstiles in those days so for example Celtic would say todays attendance was 18.000 when everyone and their dog knew it was 30.000 or more at the very least, cant blame them really but the biscuit tin mentality was rife in those days and some would say it is still the same to this day.

[@dmgsoultogetherness6667]

seems like a life time ago....amazing times though

[@boyddickson1751]

Shalom everyone : )

[@jk12114]

60 thousand against hearts Aberdeen even utd was way over 50 , Hearts would get the full rngers end at one point
