In a week that we honour super Joe Hart, today we also pay homage to Super Joe Miller…
On Saturday we bid an emotional farewell to super Joe Hart, a player who had a superb successful three years at the club. Today we also pay homage to another of Celtic’s Super Joes, and that would of course be Joe Miller, the man who on this very day in 1989 scored the winning goal in the Scottish cup final to deny the old Rangers a treble. Shame that.
It’s a goal that many of you of a particular age will remember vividly. It was a warm sunny day at Hampden Park in the showpiece final and after a long, disappointing season, wee Joe made us all smile again.
Morning all, on this day in 1989 (yes, it was 35 years ago) Celtic defeated Rangers to win the Scottish cup on a blistering hot day at Hampden… pic.twitter.com/dv3VytQuaD

Joe latched onto a slack pass back by Gary Steven’s and sent us into a state of euphoria. It would prove to be the winning goal, and not only did it win us a bit of silverware, it stopped our rivals from completing a clean sweep of honours. It truly was a magical day.
Beating your rivals is always good, especially in a cup final and wee Joe gave us all that special memory. One that is still as vivid today as it was all those years ago.
A few years of darkness would await us after that, but on that sunny day at Hampden we celebrated without a care in the world, all thanks to super Joe Miller.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy

It bit into their corruption! They were corrupt to the core at this time. This was around the start of the run of determination from interference from the filthy scum at the sfa, mainly led by Jim Farry, his friends and his corrupted group of referees.
They were about to embark upon their goal of making sure his team were going to get everything they wanted, and he would attempt to drive Scotland’s biggest club out of business.
But little did he know, the opposite was to happen!
He nearly succeeded! But along came “the Bunnet” exposing and crushing the wee piece of dog dirt into the ground. Not wanting to be exposed themselves, Farry’s friends panicked and washed their hands of him letting him be exposed and get fired.
They thought they could carry it on quietly, but the Bunnet proved differently!
Gone into extinction and oblivion are that old club.
Here we are today, playing a new establishment club, slapping them around too as we break record after record!
Hail Hail to Celtic and the Bunnet!
