On this day, in 2007, Celtic dismantled Dumbarton 4-0 in the Scottish Cup.
The Bhoys named a strong line up, showing that they wouldn’t take their opposition lightly: Boruc, Telfer, Pressley, O’Dea, Naylor, Nakamura (Riordan 45), Lennon (Gravesen 72), Sno, McGeady, Zurawski, Vennegoor of Hesselink (Miller 78).
It took just four minutes for Celtic to take the lead as Nakamura slipped in Zurawski. The Polish striker then got himself a second goal in the ninth minute, after another ball from Naka.
Venegoor of Hesselink sealed things with a third goal just before half time, before the Hoops eased off in the second half and added just one more goal through Riordan on the hour mark.
18,685 people turned up to Celtic Park on a bitterly cold afternoon. They could go home happy with what they saw.
