Video: On This Day – Ten Man Celtic Trounced Our Upcoming Opponents

On this day in 2016, Celtic comfortably defeated Hamilton Accies by three goals to nil. We would certainly welcome a repeat of that result on Boxing Day!

Leigh Griffiths opened the scoring just before half time, netting his fifth goal against Hamilton in as many games. Callum McGregor was then handed a rare, yet dubious, red card for a challenge in the opening stages of the second half. It mattered little though as Stuart Armstrong rifled an incredible strike into the top corner, before Moussa Dembele tapped home just his first goal in seven games to make sure of things.

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.
