THERE is not a lot of football being played right now across the world as Coronavirus takes hold – except Belarus, where vodka and saunas are meant to keep the virus at bay. However, thanks to @Lilze85 on Twitter, we can take a trip down memory lane and look at some of Celtic’s goals on this day.
In 1986, Celtic travelled to Pittodrie to face Alex Ferguson’s Aberdeen knowing they hadn’t won in 4 years in the North East. A goal from Mo (Judas) Johnston was enough to give all three points to Celtic. The away supporters celebrated wildly, especially when it was announced that Clydebank had beaten Rangers 2-1.

It would be a crucial win for Celtic in a season that would go down to the last day.
In 2011, Celtic travelled to McDiarmid Park to face Derek McInnes’ St Johnstone with a ridiculous 6pm kick-off scheduled. This kick-off time resulted in protests from the Celtic supporters. A goal from Beram Kayal on the stroke of half-time sealed the three points for Neil Lennon’s side, which maintained a five point lead with seven games remaining.
