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.
