On This Day: 6 November looks back at a few fixtures in Celtic’s history – some European Nights, important domestic wins and some high scoring performances from the Hoops. Thanks to Twitter’s @LilZe_7 for compiling these videos.
Dundee 2 Celtic 3 – 1982
Charlie Nicholas, Joe McGarvey and Tommy Burns sealed the points for Celtic after a tough work out by Dundee. It was a season whereby the Hoops would get very sick of Tayside.
6th November 1982, Dundee 2:3 Celtic.

Celtic 1 Neuchâtel Xamax 0 – 1991
Having been beaten 5-1 to the Swiss side, Celtic were given a golden opportunity to make the perfect start to clawing the four required goals back. However, Charlie Nicholas blazed the ball over the bar. Joe Miller scored early in the second half, by which point the game was gone for many who had braved the elements to watch the team.
30 years ago today, Celtic 1:0 Neuchâtel Xamax.
Miller.
Charlie Nicholas with one of the worst penalties you will ever see. Nearly as bad as the first leg.😐 pic.twitter.com/vxYXXva8PG

Celtic 8 Stirling Albion 0 – 2001
A Celtic side with the likes of Larsson, Sutton, Petrov and Lambert out the starting XI demolished the Central side with a brace for John Hartson, four for Shaun Maloney and one each for Tebily and Healy. Marin O’Neill’s side were simply unstoppable versus the Third Division side.

Celtic 9 Aberdeen 0 – 2010
Stokes and Hooper hit a hat-trick each, Ledley and McCourt chipped in with one each and an own-goal compounded Mark McGhee’s misery. A totally ruthless display by Celtic.
