Photo Of The Day: Celtic Win The Title 1982

Today’s photo of the day shows the joyous scene as Celtic celebrated clinching the league title in 1982.

The match that sealed it was a home fixture against St Mirren, in which second half goals from McCluskey (2) and McAdam secured a 3-0 win for the Hoops.

After the match, Paradise was teeming with excitement and Danny McGrain took it upon himself to ‘feed the bear’ with champagne. Aitken was a wilfull participant.

Hopefully it won’t be too long before similar scenes are repeated at Parkhead.

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.
