Remember When...
A great night for the club, which many did not foresee, beating one of the best teams in Europe, coming a year after Seville to show it wasn't a one-off (however, the notso-simple 2nd leg away was still to go...). Most fans awaited this game thinking the worst. Granted, we had been in the UEFA Cup final in the past year and had a very good go in the Champions League Group stages but Barcelona were the in-form team in Europe at this point and few, if any, gave us a realistic chance. Nevertheless, we were playing at home. Surprisingly, we kept together in this game despite some good attacking moves by Bara but one of the big turning points came off the pitch, when sendings off during the HT interval followed a brief bout of handbags between some players. Sadly for Rab Douglas, he was sent off from Celtic's side, even though he was apparently trying to stop the melee. In stepped David Marshall with a remarkable performance (saving a penalty). Additionally, a brilliant game by Bobo helped us get through against an ill-disciplined Bara side. As for our winner, Alan Thompson smashed home a close range goal to give Celtic the goal we all craved set up by Larsson who headed the ball down perfectly to his colleague. A night to remember for us all.........
