18. SECURING AN INVINCIBLE TREBLE
CELTIC 2 -1 ABERDEEN
SCOTTISH CUP FINAL 27 MAY 2017
Celtic were going for the Treble and with it an historic Invincible campaign. Jonny Hayes, now of course at Celtic, gave Aberdeen the lead but this Celtic team would not accept that. For kick-off Celtic moved the ball around beautifully, no Aberdeen player touched the ball until Stuart Armstrong shot from the edge of the area to level the scores.
In the second half Celtic increased the pressure as Aberdeen held on grimly for extra time. It looked like they had managed that but with seconds remaining and with a bolt of lightening hitting the Hampden turf just a few metres away from Tom Rogic, who gathered the ball, drifted past three defenders and from the tightest of angles at the Celtic end, scored the most remarkable winner. Celtic men cried.It was remarkable, it was a fairytale Celtic moment.
