Video: Kenny Dalglish Scores A Belter At Tannadice, On This Day (1977)

On this day, 8 January, 1977 – Celtic beat Dundee United by two goals to one at Tannadice.

16,000 fans packed into the stadium and they were treated to Dalglish scoring this absolutely fantastic volley, which bent into the top corner on 13 minutes.

The home side levelled things up through McAdam with 15 minutes remaining, but Johnny Doyle’s late stab beyond McAlpine gave Celtic a 2-1 win in the final moments of play.

The day had been reserved for Kenny Dalglish, who was playing his 300th match for Celtic, but Doyle’s goal stole the headlines. It was a fantastic win.
