Celtics 3 games in 66

I was watching Setanta news earlier and they were talking about how rangers tough journey to the end was so hard because of there long fixture list and then a tim phoned in and said that we played 3 games on the same day in 1966 to win the league. 2 at home and 1 away.

Just seeing what your opinion is

 

:O

Did that really happen?

 

im sure that is bollocks, a guy having a laugh

 

just shows ye oooo the rangers r poofs

 

dont make them like they used too lol

 

Remember it well, April the 1st 1966 and Bobby Lennox had his boots untied.

 

We did play 2 games in one day in the late 1890's/1900's.It certainly wasnt 1966.

 

are you sure about that i thought i saw him with his slippers on that day

 

Definitely boots and Billy McNeills fly was undone too.

 

Thats my understanding too, there was a game played in the morning and one in the afternoon.

 

it was 1912

 

Wasn't that the titanic?

 

yup same year as the titanic

 

how appropriate...the "ss ugly *" sunk like the titanic this year.

 

the poor little lambs. i wish i was getting paid thousands a week for the hardship of playing four games in a week.

 

Definately not three games in one day and not in 1966.

As some have said it was 2 games and was in the early 1900's/1910's. I'm pretty sure it was Raith Rovers at home then Motherwell away or the other way around and we won both games by 5 or 6 goals.

 

We played two games in one day on April 15th 1916. We defeated Raith 6-0 at home before travelling to Motherwell where we won 3-1.

And before any smar@rse suggests it... No, I wasn't alive then!
