CELTIC are celebrating their ninth league title in a row, the second time in the club's history that this has been achieved. Over the next nine days, we're celebrating some iconic moments from some of our most famous No.9s.

Today, we remember a great goal from John 'Yogi' Hughes on an incredible European night for the Hoops at Hampden...

The semi-final of the 1969/70 European Cup saw the proverbial Battle of Britain as Celtic were drawn against Leeds United. The Hoops had secured a 1-0 win at Elland Road in the first leg, courtesy of an early George Connelly goal and were looking to complete the job in the return leg and book their second appearance in a European Cup final in three years.

The game in Glasgow was held at Hampden, and a European Cup record crowd of 136,505 packed into the national stadium, most of them there to cheer on Jock Stein’s side.

Billy Bremner had stunned the crowd with a 14th-minute opener for the English side, but two minutes after the break, John ‘Yogi’ Hughes headed home an equaliser which put Celtic back in front in the tie. Bobby Murdoch completed the job for the Hoops four minutes later.

Speaking to the Celtic View years later, John Hughes remembered that incredible European night at Hampden.

“My clearest, earliest memory I have from the match is heading in the goal,” John said. “I scored the equaliser just a couple of minutes after half-time and then Bobby Murdoch scored the second. It was Bertie Auld who put in the cross and he struck it low. I got to it before Jack Charlton and flicked it away into the corner.

“It was one of my favourite goals and I am glad I scored on such a fantastic night, the feeling was incredible. I think it was the most important goal I ever scored for the club. The place exploded and although I am sure that Leeds had some supporters there, it seemed like everybody in Hampden was a Celtic supporter that night.

“I didn’t know what to do when the goal went in and I just jumped about celebrating. It was only when I saw it later that I thought to myself, ‘You look stupid jumping about there big yin!’ You always imagine yourself to be cool and sophisticated, but then you see yourself jumping about holding up your arm, you think ‘Jeez, is that me?!’

“When the final whistle sounded that night the crowd were going off their heads. The roar that went up was incredible. We went wild as well, because what a result it was, it was incredible. I can still remember the noise, it was unbelievable.

"I didn’t swap shirts with anyone after the match, it wasn’t something we really did back then. Afterwards it is just a haze. We would certainly have gone somewhere, we usually did after big matches, but I am afraid I can’t remember where!”
