- On this day in 1988, Celtic clinched the Centenary Year double by lifting the Scottish Cup after defeating Dundee United 2-1 in the final at Hampden.
Just three weeks earlier, a massive crowd at Celtic Park saw the Hoops deliver the league title with a 3-0 win over Dundee as the Birthday Bhoys celebrated in style.
The Tannadice side stood between the Celts and double glory and it looked like they would be party-poopers when Kevin Gallagher opened the scoring soon after the break. However, Frank McAvennie equalised in the 76th minute and then, with time running out, in the final minute as Celtic had done so many times in that historic season, the opposition net rustled again as McAvennie struck once more - cue bedlam on the terraces and in Celtic households everywhere.
THE centenary season double dream looked over just four minutes after the break against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup final when Kevin Gallagher put the Tannadice men ahead.
This was a season of eleventh-hour reversal of fortunes for Celtic, though, when the opposition choked on the final dregs served up in the last-chance saloon and it was a season when no Celtic fans dared leave the game with a couple of minutes to go - they would miss all the action.
Frank McAvennie was Celtic’s last-minute hero on this occasion and there were barely 30 seconds left on the clock when he smacked in the winner to cap a tremendous season all round.

One of my best days as a Celtic fan. Thanks for that Celtic tv 🍀🍀💚💚
So glad you put the Tommy Burns Interview in there. What a wonderful man he was
I was so exhausted from celebrating the equaliser that I had barely any energy left to celebrate the winner. It was a scorching hot day
One absolutely brilliant day! 💚
What a day that was in Glasgow with about 20 lads from the north inner city of Dublin. Hail hail once a hoop always a hoop.
We were also the first club to win a league and cup double in a centenary season
I’m so used to Archie McPherson’s commentary on this game, it’s weird to hear someone else. Brilliant memories of a happy, sunburned day.
Always mind my granda had this on vhs and used to sit as a wee guy and watch this and the hearts semi final on repeat
What a day - I was 21, wearing the Centenary top that was a birthday gift (still have it). Macc's Goals, Big Roy roaring the team on. Tommy's interview and hugging the cup. Big Roy brought the cup to the Celtic Story in the Pavilion Theatre that night.
I was there🍀
OMG I was not expecting TB at the end. Every time I see or hear him it still gives me a tear. I think it always will❤
Topped off the 3 nil championship clincher against Dundee in April to make it another double. Great days.
My earliest memory as a 6 year old celtic fan (on tv)
took my 10 year old brother to this final and he loved it 😂🍀🍀
You are always there with us too Tommy
Mr Celtic Yourself,
Hail Hail

The day I was conceived! 😂 Genuinely owe my life to Celtic and Frank McAvennie 😂
I was at the game. Can still see Bannon bouncing his header down and over. That would have been 2~0 United. I was beyond distraught.
