What a day this was! It was a pulsating performance from Celtic on the day. I attended match with my two future brother in laws, brother and to other friends.
We had gone to most games home and away that season and turned up at Love Street with a ‘miracles can happen’ attitude. Well little did we know what was in store!
I can remember the near silence as we listened in to nearby transistor radios for info from Dens Park,and the amount of guys saying Hail Marys (The power of prayer).
To top the day off we were captured forever on camera. As the St Mirren keeper held the ball behind him all hell broke loose as Dundee answered our call,tv cameras then zoomed in on crowd and there we were going nuts, along with our magic support.
Just a miraculous day. We had won the league again and we had been captured on camera for ever and a day.
Yours in Celtic
James Stewart
