2 November 1957. Celtic 4 Kilmarnock 0
Following the 7-1 League Cup final victory over Rangers on 19 October 1957, right-back John Donnelly was stricken with flu and Peter replaced him for the next two games, against Third Lanark at Cathkin and Kilmarnock at Celtic Park.
This was Peter’s final first-team appearance and if you’re going to say farewell to Paradise, what a way to do it, lining up in that shamrock kit with the other legends parading a trophy following one of Celtic’s greatest-ever triumphs.
Back row; Peter Goldie, Sean Fallon, Dick Beattie, Billy McPhail, Willie Fernie and Bobby Evans.
Front row; Willie Johnstone (Trainer), Charlie Tully, Bobby Collins, Bertie Peacock, Sammy Wilson, Neil Mochan and Jimmy McGrory (Manager).
