Photo Of The Day: 80s Pyro As Celtic Fans Let Of Smoke Bombs At League Cup Final

By 1 Comment

Today’s photo of the day dates back to 4 December 1982, an afternoon when Celtic beat Rangers 2-1 at Hampden Park to lift the Scottish League Cup trophy. It was the club’s first League Cup triumph since 1974 and the only League Cup silverware that Danny McGrain lifted as captain.

First half goals from Charlie Nicholas and Murdo MacLeod gave Celtic a 2-0 lead, before Bett made things close after the break.

Ultimately, Celtic prevailed and the fans enjoyed the victory by setting off smoke bombs on the uncovered, rain soaked terrace at the King’s Park end.

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
