    I'm a wee bit tipsy, and a wee bit afraid with all the COV-19 stuff, so I've decided to look back on some old Celtic footage just to take my anxiety away a bit.

    But I got to thinking that Lambo's majestic Hunskelp in 1998 was the moment that we properly knew we had those *; that our dark cloud had passed; that they would never get the better of us again.

    I've always spoken to my mates about my favourite goal against whatever team comes out of Ibrox, and most talk about Henrik's in the 6-2.

    But Lambo's was the most romantic, spectacular way to change everything and give us all back the hope we clung onto in the 90s, and got * all from it.

    In these times, let's remember that things can and do work out, and if they don't, we have each other's backs.

    For those of us old enough to remember this, this was life-changing.

    None of us will walk alone through this storm.

    One of those goals you never forget. Only saw it on the telly, but the image of it hitting the net is burned into my brain. Was still a kid so at the time I didn't understand the magnitude of the title that season.

    Funnily watched him winning the CL for Dortmund earlier on BT.

    Wee Jackie's pass is absolutely outstanding. That win gave us the belief we could win the league that year and the huns knew it. I just remember after it thinking this challenge is real and it was a brilliant feeling after the yrs of torment at the hands of those *.

    I remember it well. Got Goldeneye for the N64 that Christmas, so the day was split between that and the game.

    It used to be said whoever won the new year game usually went on to win the league and fortunately it was true that year.
    A beautiful moment that will never be forgotten

    He was my favourite player during his time here, he just made the game look so simple and dictated the pace of the game. His goal at Fir Park was another cracker what a team goal.



    This one anaw.

    Those were the days where a chance like that was at a premium. Maybe only opened them up 3 or 4 times a season. Time seemed to stop and the Burley was the best man to be in that position that day

    A game and a goal that I will forever remember. So so vital and the day when actually winning the title that season became real for me in such a monumentally important season.
