Celtic supporters of a certain vintage will remember the Tennents’ Sixes as a competition which was taken seriously and in which we played our best team.
The competition was an annual indoor football tournament contested each January by senior football clubs from Scotland between 1984 and 1993. The tournament was sponsored by Tennent Caledonian Breweries and organised by the Scottish Football Association.
On this day, in 1992, Celtic won the trophy and jubilant scenes were sparked in the stands as it had been a miserable couple of years since Joe Miller’s winning goal in the 1989 Scottish Cup Final.
