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

Today, it's a double at Hampden to seal the Centenary Double!

BIlly McNeill famously said there was a fairy tale aspect to the Celtic story, and the Celtic legend certainly played his part in that, both as a player and as manager.

And one of those fairy tale moments came on May 14, 1988, when Frank McAvennie produced the magic moments on the Hampden to give Billy McNeill’s Celtic side a 2-1 victory over Dundee United to lift the Scottish Cup and seal the Centenary double.

McAvennie was signed by Cesar on October 2, 1987, joining the Hoops from West Ham United, and making his debut in a home game against Hibernian the following day.

The first of 50 goals he would score for Celtic in two spells at the club came on October 10 in a 3-1 home win over Morton, while he would make a total of 106 appearances for the Hoops.

The Scottish Cup final triumph came three weeks after a 3-0 win over Dundee at Paradise had secured the league title for Celtic.

The game at Hampden saw Kevin Gallacher give Dundee United the lead four minutes into the second half, but that was cancelled out by a McAvennie header on 76 minutes. Then, with the game in the last few seconds of the 90, McAvennie struck again.

A low Joe Miller corner into the United box was swept on by Billy Stark, and when it broke to McAvennie six yards out, he fired a first-time right foot shot into the back of the net. The fairy tale was complete!

Speaking a few years ago to the Celtic View, Celtic’s two-goal hero reflected on that incredible season.

“Some people think that the highlight for me must have been the last-minute winner in the Scottish Cup final, but for me it was winning the league in our centenary season,” McAvennie said. If my memory serves me right, we could have won the league at Tynecastle, but were that bad and lost 2-1. We then had to go back to Celtic Park and play Dundee.

“Now the old Celtic board said there was 60,000 there, but there must have been around 90,000 - it was like the old days. People were packed into the stands and I still remember me and Tommy going to them at the final whistle.

“It was just special, an incredibly special day and for the team to do that in the Centenary season, as the boys said, that ensured that in 100 years we will be remembered.”
