Watch: On This Day, Celtic Clinch The League Title In Centenary Season

Celtic have won 51 league titles in their history but few stand out more than their 35th such triumph in 1987/88. That Centenary season would of course go on to be even better as the Bhoys would secure a historic double, at a time when the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts, Dundee United, and Rangers were very strong.

Celtic clinched the title in front of a racous Celtic Park, which was bursting at the seams. The official attendance is recorded as 60,800 but Directors later admitted the figure was actually 72,000 – even then there are suggestions the real number should have been approaching 90,000. Fans were situated around the track at pitchside, such was the overcrowding.

It was a day to remember as Celtic took the lead through Chris Morris inside three minutes. Andy Walker’s quick fire double in the 75th and 76th minutes then secured the trophy with a 3-0 win. A pitch invasion followed as the crowd went wild.
