Brilliant article Saint, I was 10 in 1985 and vividly remember watching the game in my Gran’s house with a can of ‘Top Deck’. A great memory for me.

Enjoyed this article. Probably kicked us on to the league the following season. Such an important victory.

Great article - hard to believe it's 40 years since this game. Watching Davie Provan's free kick with Archie's commentary is one of my most vivid celtic memories as a kid. The way Frank McGarvey was treated afterwards was shameful but typical of the old board

I suppose....although it sounded like it was Davie Hay's decision. Didn't even get a chance to say farewell to the fans and same thing happened to Danny McGrain too. Davie's cup final jersey is up for sale - link below. £2 grand is an absolute steal for a piece of genuine Celtic history - would have thought that the club would want to buy this?
