    I was at the 4-3 Juve game and that was a cracker of a spectacle to say the least. World class game.

    I wish I was at the 6-2 game, and of course the Inter Milan game back in 67. Would've been sum buzz to travel back to Scotland knowing we were the first team in Britain to bring the European Cup home.

    henriks last home game v Dundee Utd.. was on the verge of tears, and for him to score 2 goals to win the game was typical Henke! Priceless!

    game i wish i was at would have to have been the 6-2 or Seville

    Great story mate. I love having older supporters on here to share their experiences of following Celtic and the game in '86 at Love Street is one that I definitely wish I could have experienced first hand.

    I've watched the video countless times on YouTube and I can only imagine how good it would have been to be there that day. The nerves, tension, anticipation and finally, the sheer relief and joy when the final whistle went in both games.

    It's a shame that league games are rarely played at the same times these days though, due to the sports channels such as Sky basically dictating our kick off times to suit their schedule.

    I loved it recently though (Christmas Eve) when we were playing Killie at Parkhead and the Huns were playing away to St Mirren at the same time. The roar inside CP when St Mirren scored their second, four days before the derby game, was a nice throwback to how it was in the good ol' days, when everybody kicked off at the same time and you were always kept up to date through radios and all sorts.

    That was a great day - just looked at it again on You tube and when news comes through of Dundee scoring and it pans to the crowd - there I am going ballistic. The best day I have had on league winning day. The Barcelona game a few years ago on the day of the Madrid bombings was immense and YNWA never sang so loud. I would have loved to have been at Hampden for the 1970 European Cup semi against Leeds.

    Same two that sprung to mind for me as well though I would side with the 2 0. Was a rotten nervy horrible game, but the sense of sheer jubilation at the full time whistle will never again be rivalled in the SPL. Amazing to think how much it meant to everyone and how long people had waited. I was still a youngster so it was the first time I can remember celtic winning the league.

    The 5-1 game against the huns is mines probably. My favourite game is probably that draw at home to Villarreal, can remember that as clear as day as they were a great team and had a brilliant performance, probably the best a team have played against us that ive seen.

    Besides the hun games probably beating ac milan at CP, or when hartson scored when we beat hearts to win the league in 2005.

    I've been to hundreds of games over the years, had a season ticket for 2 (-hun games) and I have still yet to attend an Old Firm match. I've only been to one Euro game, the qualifier against Spartak at home. Was good to beat them in penalties, was quite exciting in the ground.

    Best game ever I guess was 97-98 game where Brattbakk scored all 4 goals against Kilmarnock in a 4-0 win. Was just a funny day. Big Harald scored the goal that clinched the league that year. Was a good year in general.

    Here is his thought on our title chances this year.

    Best game I've ever been to was when we won the league on our centenery year at Celtic park V Dundee. I was about 10 years old, sitting with my mum and dad in the main stand. For me, the atmosphere that day will be beaten by no other game. At an estimation, 80 to 90,000 people crammed into and even spilled onto the running tracks of the stadium.
    I was a little scared watching the crowds get bigger and bigger as the game went on. We were hearing about thousands of people climbing over the turnstile walls, some even breaking bones doing so, just to see the Hoops.

    A few minutes into the game Chris Morris scores, sending the stadium into pandamonious celebration.
    In the second half Andy Walker made it 2 nil. Nearly 100,000 Celtic fans hadnt even finished celebrating his goal, and 30 seconds later he scored again making it 3 nil.

    The Walk On that day was absolutely astonishing. The Main Stand, the Celtic End, the Rangers End and The Jungle were mesmorisingly awashed with green and white scarfs and flags.

    The inevitable pitch invasion at the end of the game forced the centenery team to be presented with the league trophy,standing on the brick wall of the directors boxes whilst the fans sang Happy Birthday Dear Celtic from the pitch...amazing day!!!:ynwacelti

    Skelping the huns 3 nil at Paradise probably.

    The Scottish Cup replay game against them was superb as well.

    Man Utd, Ac Milan & Spartak in there with a shout too.

    Tough one this..

    The 6-2 was incredible. I took a family friend who had never been to an old firm and even to this day she tells her husband it was the best day of her life, lol.

    2-0 midweek, can't remember the date and too lazy on phone to find it. Lubo scored both incredible goals and was mesmerized by the supporters celebrations. I knew then I was in the presence of a special player, he was awesome.

    4-3 vs Juventus in the final game of the group stages of the champions league. Fantastically exciting game, lots of goals. Del Piero scored a text book freekick, which everyone in the stand knew was going in as soon as the foul was committed. Suttons volley.. superb. One of my all time favourite champions league games, its nice we were involved.. and won :)

    Not sure I could pick out of those 3..

    1) Stopping the 10, St. Johnstone at home.

    2) Beating the Huns 6-2.

    3) Juventus, 4-3. Both as a Celtic fan and just as a great, great game of football.

    4) Barca 1-0, bit scrappy, but beating Barcelona was special.

    5) Lyon, 2-0. Brilliant atmosphere that night, two great goals. Larsson made both, and was sensational. Didn't get MotM though: the name on everyone's lips that night was Liam Miller. Played, scored and was sensational. Shame he * it all up the wall, sold out to United and is a nothing now.

    Game I wish I was at, but wasn't: got to be Seville. I had a ticket (but was just a kid) through the away ticket scheme, but my Dad couldn't get one at all, so we couldn't go. Would have loved to have been there.
