2 difficult questions.
1) what is the best goal you saw the Hoops score that was pleasing, exhilarating on the eye?
2) what goal did they score in the context of what it meant to you.
I'll kick off.
1) 1972 cup final (6-1 against Hibs) . Dixie Deans 3rd. What a goal. If I could cheat, wee Jinky of all people scored a bullet header in what from memory was a 1975 Dryburgh Cup final against them (I think we won on penalties that day) .
2) This one was easier. Harold Brattback against St Johnstone to help stop their 10 in May 1998. We were winning 1-0 as you know getting towards the end of the game. I was ******* myself at 1-0. Pure relief and joy in equal measure.

Larsson in the 6-2 game
And
Nakamura free kick against kili to win the league.

Best goal was from Maurice Johnston against St Mirren at Love Street
1986 One of five to win the league with help of Albert Kidd
Class team goal.

Brattbakk goal is definitely in the top 3! Nakamura against oldco in 2008 from about the mate. Larsson in the second leg against Boavista.

Paul Lambert v oldco in the new year game, Larsson v Boavista but top of the pile is Brattbakk’s for me.

We forgot about Tony Watt! I was in a pub for that and it was the loudest cheer I’ve ever heard, singing from that goal onwards, that was a special night.

We don't mention Judas on here lol.

The crucial Judas goal in ‘86 came into my head first but the Dembele team goal away to St. Johnstone was also special.
I can’t disagree with Larsson against Boavista or Brattbakk against St. Johnstone.
I also liked Sutton’s injury time goal to give us our only whitewash in 4 league matches against Rangers.
That was also part of 7 wins in a row against the EBT cheating Rangers team.
