Morning all, Lubo Moravcik was a technically gifted player who was two footed and able to trap a ball instantly. On one occasion he demonstrated a method of getting a high ball under control that I haven't seen before or since...

Morning all, someone said yesterday that Maeda's second goal in midweek was the best Celtic team goal he had ever seen. Well, I think Celtic of 1986 might say, 'hold my beer!'

The ball boys seemed to enjoy that goal :-)

Few team goals in Celtic's history were as poetic as this one. Was it really 37 years ago!

That outside of the boot pass from Kuhn to Kyogo was outstanding....

That old classic piece of commentary, 'Whits the goalie daen, Tom?' :-)

Is this the best Glasgow derby goal of them all?

Absolute scenes behind that goal. Few things in life release that pent up emotion &amp; passion like a last gasp winner...

That classic piece of commentary.... 'Whits the goalie daen, Tom?' :-)

Moussa Dembele and the double nutmeg, more remarkable that he did it with a back heel.

Morning all, Celtic defeated a good Anderlecht side 3-1 in November 2003. When you watch those games now you can see the pace and drive Celtic played at then. The team had had plenty of firepower but that midfield was strong too.

Possibly the best angle I've seen of Daizen Maeda's stunning goal against Rangers. Good scrapping by Maeda and McGregor to win the ball back at the start of the move.

Morning all, we might be missing the club football already but the World Cup will keep us going. Am I right in thinking that most fans put their club first in terms of importance when it come to football?

Morning all, ten long months of football and it all came down to the final seconds of the season. A poor delivery from the free kick and Hearts are undone. A quite remarkable ending to a season...

Morning all, Celtic Park has seen quite a few tifos over the years but that night when Barcelona were our guests in 2012 lives long in the memory. Celtic Tito Vilanova said: “I have been lucky in my career to have been to many grounds, but I have never seen anything like it. .”

Are we officially adopting this song or just saving it for the wind up at Ibrox? :-)

It's hard to believe it's almost 20 years since Nakamura did this against Manchester United in the Champions League...

Was Archie Gemmill's goal for Scotland against Holland in the 1978 World Cup the best ever by a Scotland player?

On this day in 2023 Jota heads the only goal of the match against Rangers in the cup semi-final. Ange Postecoglou's side moved into the final and a shot at another treble.

Well done to the fans who brought the atmosphere on Sunday. When the old place is rocking like that it really does lift the team and drive the players on.

A dreich winter's day in 1982 saw Celtic defeat Rangers 3-2 with a young Paul McStay on top of his game...

Neill Lennon on Open Goal explaining why the wily Chris Sutton slapped David Beckham during the Giggs testimonial...

Gary Hooper popping up with a last gasp winner against St Mirren. I recall the stress of that game &amp; wondering if the goal was ever going to come.

Ryan Giggs' testimonial match saw the Champions of Scotland and England face off. In a feisty, competitive encounter, there were some fine goals with Celtic coming out on top 4-3.

Morning all, it's the 25th day of May and that can only mean one thing...

Celtic Park tuning up for a derby game in 2022. Those games are rarely played at night and I thought that one had a European tie feel about it. Celtic won 3-0.

Spanish football fans asked to identify the badges of clubs from the UK. The wall to wall coverage of the EPL made the English clubs easier to name. Interesting responses for the SPFL clubs...

Paddy Power poking fun at the Glasgow footballing rivalry. I'm sure there are plenty of folk out there sharing their lives quite happily with someone from the other side? :-)

Roy Keane bossing the midfield at Ibrox, even at 35 and with a dodgy hip, his class and experience shone through. Celtic won the game 1-0 with a goal from Zurawski. Wayne Rooney was a spectator in the away end that day &amp; has long had a soft spot for Celtic.

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic career got off to a sticky start as they lost 3 of their first 6 SPFL matches. Things improved greatly as the team responded to his tactics and they faced Rangers in February 2022 with a chance to go top of the league if they won...
