FLASHBACK - MATCH 220 - 3 May 1986

Season:  1985/86
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue:  ST MIRREN PARK


ON THIS DAY...........28 YEARS AGO

HEAVEN FOR CELTIC;  HEARTBREAK FOR HEARTS!

ST MIRREN     0     CELTIC     5
Scorers:  McCLAIR(2), JOHNSTON(2), McSTAY

Celtic went to St Mirren Park  aka Love Street two points behind Hearts to conclude an indifferent season but with an outside chance of winning the league.  Hearts were in Dundee expecting to wrap up the title.  Celtic had been inconsistant in the early part of the season but had won the last seven going into this last match to put a little pressure on the league leaders.
Celtic came out all guns blazing and played the most amazing 45 minutes of football to take a 4 nil half time lead.  This included the ultimate team goal goal with a sweeping move involving Danny McGrain, Murdo MacLeod, Paul McStay, Roy Aitken, Brian McClair and finished by Johnston.
McClair added a fifth in a subdued second half until 8 minutes from time when the Celtic end went crazy as news came through the many wirelesses that Dundee had scored.  They scored again and Celtic unbelievably won their 34th Scottish Championship.

GOD BLESS ALBERT KIDD
