On this date in our remarkable history,
Celtic won the league in our Centenary season on the way to the Double.
We beat Dundee 3-0 at home.
The Official crowd was given as 60,800 but the Celtic Directors admitted later there was actually 72,000 inside the Stadium with thousands more locked outside.
A crazy decision not to make it an all ticket game.
Also on this date,
Celtic played Clyde in the 1955 Scottish Cup Final which was the first SC final to be shown live on BBC.
Celtic were leading 1-0 with only 3 minutes remaining but conceded a goal directly from a corner kick with our keeper misjudging the flight of the ball.
Celtic lost the replay 1-0 against Clyde for a shock result.

Was at the game that day and it was mental, probably the busiest I had seen Parkhead. Was probably one of my favourite seasons and there was something special in the air.

I was in the Celtic End at my usual spot middle-middle for the game.
Yes Morris scored an early goal and then Walker got a quick fire double in the 2nd half.
I our last game Rogan scored an early goal against Dunfermline which turned out to be the winner.
I remember both fullbacks scored early goals in those games but I had to check and you’re right about it being Morris against Dundee.
Dunfermline got relegated that season but their fans had a nice banner congratulating Celtic on our success and saying we would meet again soon.
