2. DIXIE, DIXIE, DIXIE, DIXIE, DIXIE DEANS
CELTIC 6 – 1 HIBERNIAN
SCOTTISH CUP FINAL, 6 MAY 1972
“Unlucky Hibs beaten 6-1” read the headline in The Scotsman. Over 106,000 were at Hampden in green and white to see Celtic hammer a very good Hibernian.
This was the Dixie Deans Final as Jock Stein selected a mixture of Lions and his Quality Street teams. Dixie, who had replaced Willie Wallace in the team, scored a hat-trick and Lou Macari grabbed himself a couple – for the Lions captain Billy McNeill scored one and picked up the Cup in the iconic 1970s Cup Final.
