The late, great Celtic Historian David Potter’s Celtic diary highlights key Celtic-related events relevant to each day, today covering 11 September…
SATURDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 1915
Morton tend to have a good team during the Great War because of the many soldiers, sailors and munitions workers stationed near Greenock, and today’s game against Celtic at Cappielow was a tough one, but a goal by Sunny Jim Young is enough to give Celtic a narrow 1-0 victory.
WEDNESDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 1929
Following a 1-1 draw at Shawfield on Saturday in the Glasgow Cup, Celtic really turn it on to beat Clyde at Celtic Park 6-1 tonight with a hat-trick from Peter Scarff (one penalty) two from Jimmy McGrory and one from Alec Thomson.
SATURDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 1968
Steve Chalmers and Bobby Lennox both score five each as Celtic beat Hamilton Accies 10-0 in the quarter-final first leg of the Scottish League Cup at Celtic Park.
11th September 1968, Celtic beat Hamilton 10(TEN) nil.

SATURDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 1993
Celtic beat Raith Rovers 4-1 at Stark’s Park, Kirkcaldy with a couple of goals each from Charlie Nicholas and Andy Payton. Celtic fans in the 8,114 crowd begin to feel that, in spite of the ongoing problems with the board of directors, Liam Brady might yet manage to pull things round for Celtic, particularly with Joe Jordan on board as Assistant Manager.
30 years ago today, Raith Rovers 1:4 Celtic.
