Video: Samaras Saviour, On This Day 2013

Eight years ago today, one of the greatest Celtic matches of the modern era took place at Paradise. It took just 12 seconds for a goal to be scored and six more followed!

Celtic trailed 3-1 but eventually won 4-3 when Samaras scored an acrobatic strike in the dying moments.

It was a simply incredible match in an otherwise relatively straightforward league season.

None of the starting XI remain at the club today, with many having retired, although Tom Rogic was on the bench.

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.
