I watched the highlights of 2 games tonight.
The 1-1 draw at ibrokes when our fans were banned in ‘94 and a 3-1 victory at Rugby Park when Di Canio scored his first goal for Celtic in ‘96.I remember I had a great view of the goals in that superb second half.
The difference in the quality of the Celtic players we had in only 2 years was massive and the Fergus effect started to take shape.
I went to watch our reserves play Rangers at Celtic Park while the first team were playing.
I think there was about 12,000 fans at the game and we won either 3-0 or 3-1 with Chris Hay scoring a hat trick. I was at the back of the jungle with my radio when Collins scored his free kick and the place went mental.
Rangers ended up scoring from a deflection with only 10 minutes to go. That turned out to be Rangers last goal of the season because they played for another 4 games and 6 hours without scoring a single goal and their bottle crashed in the cup final when losing 1-0 to Dundee Utd and their chance of a double treble was gone.

I was at that game. Afterwards was the craziest night ever. Ended up in the old Art School bar and met the Buzzcocks who had been playing round corner at the Garage- we ended up back at their hotel with them (the big one under the Kingston Bridge) where a Sportsman's Dinner was in full swing for Walter Smith. I went in for a pee and Billy Connolly was on one side of me and McCoist on the other. We weren't allowed to buy drinks as it was a residents bar only so Steve Diggle and Pete Shelley had to buy me and my mate drinks all night. Left about 6 in the morning and the contents of Diggle's mini bar fell out of my pockets as we came out of lift at reception. Mental night.

Guys I am going back even further, during our Lisbon season when we won EVERYTHING, we had to play a Glasgow Cup final against the old club, big Jock field mostly a reserves team but that included the "Quality Street Kids" Connelly, Davidson, Macari etc, the old club were desperate for ANY victory over us so fielded almost a full strength team with Greig their captain .
Our young bhoys played them off the park and at half time we were 3-0 going 10-0, they never got a sniff of the ball. We Celtic fans as we do, took the ultimate p! ss out of them by chanting "all we are saying is give the Rangers a CHANCE" the fans then BOOED the Celtic players and CHEERED Greig and co, as is the current's want most had disappeared by this time and when Greig scored a consolation goal the Celtic fans CHEERED, I remember him looking up in bewilderment and all us Celtic fans laughing.
Hail hail.

Chris Hay was my type of player - as was Davie Elliot. Both great with the ball at their feet and direct. Surprised neither made it.
