ARBROATH    1    CELTIC    9 
Scorers: Tindall; McAvennie(3), Nicholas, McGnlay, McNally, Payton(3)

As Celtic are scheduled to play Arbroath on Wednesday in a Scottish Cup replay it gave me a chance to post my only visit to Gayfield Park which was 19 years ago when failing Celtic manager Liam Brady recorded the biggest win I have ever witnessed.  The only down side was it came against one of Celtic's all time greats Danny McGrain who was a rockie manager with the part-timers.
The match included two hat tricks, one Frank McAvennie and the other Andy Payton who had only came on as a substitiute!
Local man Kevin Tindall got the consolation goal for Arbroath with the last kick of the ball.

Celtic team:
Bonner,  Boyd,  Wdowczyk,  Grant,  McNally,  Galloway,  McGinlay,  McStay,  McAvennie,  Nicholas,  Collins;

FLASH BACK - Match 656 - 3rd November 1993

Season:  1993/94  

UEFA Cup Second Round Second Leg 

Venue:  ESTADIO J. ALAVALADE

** SPORTING LISBON 2 - 0 CELTIC **

Scorers: Cadete(2)

On a very wet night in Lisbon (more like Glasgow weather) Celtic crashed out of Europe as Bobby Robson side comfortably over turned the one nil defeat of the first leg in Glasgow.  A goal in each half from Jorge Cadete made the aggregate score 2:1.  Celtic had there chances but failed to make any count when it mattered in what was Lou Macari's first match as Celtic manager.

I travelled over with Passport Travel who were based in Clydebank on a one day charter flight from Glasgow returning into Edinburgh in the early hours.  The highlight of the day was a stop off at Estádio Nacional near Lisbon were Celtic won the European Cup in 1967.  Sadly there where no heroics from this Celtic side.
