1967 – Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen
Two years after their 1965 victory, Celtic were again back at Hampden Park to cheer another Scottish Cup victory. This latest celebration was one part of a remarkable season.

Earlier in the 1966-67 season, the Celts had claimed the Glasgow Cup and the League Cup. Now they faced Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final. Two goals either side of half-time from Willie Wallace meant that Billy McNeill would again hold aloft a trophy, and he was not finished for the season.
A week later, Celtic drew 2-2 at Ibrox to become League champions. This was an historic occasion as the first time that Celtic completed a domestic Treble. It was also unusual in the sense that the Treble was sealed by winning the League, unlike other Trebles that have been completed with the Scottish Cup.
And, of course, there was even better to come. Later in May, Celtic had their greatest ever day, winning the European Cup in Lisbon.
This season also brought with it another notable honour. It was the first time that any club in the world had completed a so-called Continental Treble of domestic League, national cup and the major continental trophy, in this case, the European Cup.
