    After today's resounding victory that clinched our 50th league title, it's a good time to reflect on all the brilliant memories in there.

    Out of the 50, what are your most memorable? What was your first and what was your favourite?

    My first and favourite happen to be the same, stopping the 10, 1997/98

    We're the first club in Scotland to win 50 titles that are untainted.

    Massive achievement.

    As a whole season then the Invincible season is my favourite.

    For actual title clinching days then Naka at Killie, JVOH at Tannadice or the pumping at Rugby Park for Lennon’s first.

    Martin O’Neill’s Treble and Seville were pretty special as well. Still confuses me how we got nothing Seville season man.

    Aye but I think the whole Invincible season as a whole just like a once in a lifetime thing that won’t ever be done again.

    And the 3 clinchers I mentioned just felt like probably the most emotional.

    Especially at Tannadice with the ‘Do it for Tommy’ and then Lennon’s with the whole bullets and bombs.

    50 honest, untainted titles. Here’s to the next 50!

    My personal favourite was 2008, when Jan Venegoor of Hesselink scored the winner at Tannadice, for Tommy.

    The invincibles season, is the obvious standout, from the current run.

    Age were you in 86 @Marty McFly?

    2008 was a special one for Tommy and how we turned it round from a seemingly impossible position. Great shout.

    Amazing achievement doing the 50! My all time favourite was 98. Going through that time not winning the league watching them do the 9, seeing that massive scaffolding at the Louden with the 10 in a row party!!!!

    Loved the Celtic players t-shirts with 10 in a row with the zero crossed out! Just got goose pimples thinking about it again! Cutting about with ma bumble bee top on giving it to all ma pals that were huns! Hail Hail!

    Edit - * I feel auld! Was 16 in 98 and it’s been 21 years! Sake!!!!
