    Straight forward enough question and no right or wrong answers. Purely, what you think was our most important goal or contribution of the season which affected a result/performance?

    For me it was one of two..

    Ralstons header vs Ross County at the death.
    Gave us real momentum and felt like a defining moment of our title challenge.

    Carter Vickers vs Rangers.
    Probably the goal that won us the league. I think it killed them. Huge.

    One of 3 for me:

    Jota winner vs Aberdeen. Really helped us kick on. We never looked back.

    Ralston header vs Ross County. Crucial we didn't drop points in that game.

    Abada last min vs Dundee United. Again, we couldn't drop points there.

    If none of the last two had happened then CCVs against the Huns may not have mattered.

    Abada at home to Dundee Utd. That or Ralston’s at Dingwall.

    Was a season of proper dramatic goals tbh.

    Thats the sign of a good Celtic side though.

    Abada v Dundee utd.

    They had dropped points in last min at Ross County earlier in the day and we won it in last minute. Psychologically that absolutely killed them

    Liam Boyce missing the penalty at Hearts was massive as well

    Abada vs Dundee United. It was bedlam when it went in.

    Ye think things could have been very different if abada hadn't got that late winner.

    Following our defeat to Livi, we went on a 33 domestic game win streak. I'd like to think that was a kick up the * if anything.

    Not our most important goal but the win at livi really set us up to finish off as champions seeing as all the talk was that it was our bogey team/ground and we won convincinglyy

    Aye the Abada goal..

    10 men. Looked like it wasn't happening. They'd dropped point's at Dingwall that day after being ahead in injury time..

    Was a big day..

    Could feel it was our time. 4 day's later we went on to annihilate them at Celtic Park..

    Ralston header at Ross County. That was pivotal for us closing the gap and with 10 men too.

    Agree with @Mr Shelby Abadas goal at United and Jotas at Aberdeen right up there too.

    Giakomakas had some critical late goals too. Been a cracking season of drama.

    I'm going to go with an outlier here and say Jota's goal against Aberdeen earlier in the season.

    I think we dropped points in the two games prior, and this was the first time I was disillusioned with Ange. 1-1 with less than 10 minutes to go, already behind in the league. Suddenly Jota pops up with a vital goal, and it basically kickstarts our entire season.

    Honourable mentions to CCV against the huns, Abada against Dundee United, Ralston against Ross County and Giakoumakis against Dundee.

    Also not a goal, but Boyce's penalty miss against Hearts was absolutely massive. First slice of luck we had all season.

    The league clinchers :
    CCV vs the huns.
    Jota vs the huns
    Hart save vs the huns

    The pivotal moments:
    Hatate brace vs the huns
    Jota winner at Pittodrie (twice)
    Abada vs Dundee Utd
    Ralston vs Ross County
    Boyce missed penalty vs us
    Giamoukakis vs Dundee
    Maeda vs Livingston (that goal propelled us on our way to beating that mob and the implications could be we go there and win regulary now)
    Kyogo vs Hearts

    To me it’s what kickstarted it all, it gave them the belief that the system works, you just need to stick with it, the belief that the game isn’t over until the ref blows the whistle at full time and the belief that they can win under pressure when they are away.

    The Aberdeen goal is what started it all. Without that goal, none of the others happen.

    St Johnstone away on boxing day was crucial. Scary the amount of players we had out that day. Had to stay 6 points behind the huns that day. They looked like getting back in the game until Bitton scored

    Just the simple presence of the Fridge.

    He was a * warrior * for us this season.

    Covered Starfelts * while he got his * together. Lead from the back. Cant remember a single poor performance from him domestically.

    I want him inside me.
