Five memorable Celtic moments, with a nod to the late Celtic Historian and Celtic Star legend David Potter, on this day starting in 1906…
ONE – SATURDAY 10 MARCH 1906 – Celtic clinch their sixth League Championship and their second in succession as they beat Queen’s Park 6-0 at Hampden. 15,000 are there to see a tremendous Celtic performance with four goals from Jimmy Quinn and one each from Alec Bennett and Davie Hamilton.
TWO – SATURDAY 10 MARCH 1962 – One of the most remarkable Scottish Cup ties of all time happens at Celtic Park today when Celtic, 1-3 down to Third Lanark at half-time, turn things round so that they are winning 4-3 before Third Lanark equalise late in the game. For Celtic, two goals come from Steve Chalmers, one from John Hughes and another from Frank Brogan.
THREE – WEDNESDAY 10 MARCH 1965 – It is Jock Stein’s first game in charge of Celtic as the team travel to Broomfield to beat Airdrie 6-0. It is the Bertie Auld show, for he scores five goals (two of them penalties) and John Hughes notches the other.
FOUR – SATURDAY 10 MARCH 1973 – 18,000 pack into Tannadice Park to see a thrilling 2-2 draw between Dundee United and Celtic in the Scottish League. Celtic’s goals come from Bobby Lennox, one of them a great individual effort. It was very entertaining but it was not the result that Celtic wanted, for they now are sharing the lead in the Scottish League race with seven games to go.
FIVE – SUNDAY 10 MARCH 2002 – Celtic are so far ahead in the League race that it does not really matter all that much, but it is still a little disappointing to draw at Ibrox when the game seemed there for the winning. Stilian Petrov scored Celtic’s goal in the first half, and after Numan had equalised, there were several reasonable chances to score which Celtic passed up.
10th March 2002, Rangers 1:1 Celtic.
