Video – On This Day Larsson Bagged A Brace & Burchill Rounded Off A Fine Win

On this day, 20 years ago, Celtic played Hibernian at Celtic Park. It was a rare occasion in which the Bhoys wore an away kit on home soil. However, there was nothing rare about Henrik Larsson being among the goals as the King of Kings scored a magnificent brace, before Mark Burchill rounded off proceedings.

Meanwhile, fans of an older age may recall the Hoops beating Rangers 3-1 at Parkhead on this day. There was another brace scored that afternoon, by Tom McAdam, whilst George McCluskey scored the other goal for the Celts.

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
