THE EDOUARD CUP FINAL

& THE TREBLE TREBLE aka "THE TRINITY TREBLE"

52 years to the very day Celtic won the European Cup they create another piece of history by securing the domestic treble for an unprecedented third year in a row - the Treble Treble!

After Hearts take the lead in the second half French striker Odsonne Edouard steps up and producing a match winning performance.  First he wins a penalty and converts it to equalise.  Then he is sent clear by Swede Mikael Lustig and fires home the winner.  It is the first time in the clubs history they've won Scotland's oldest domestic competition three years in a row.

MATCH 1797 - Saturday 27 April 2019

SEASON 2019/20

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE 

CELTIC  1  KILMARNOCK  0

Scorer:  Simunovic

An Emotional Time for the Celtic Family.  

The first match at Celtic Park after the death one of the greatest Celts of all time, Billy McNeill.

With Celtic struggling for the breakthrough No.5 Jozo Simunovic rose to head home the winner with 67 minutes on the stadium scoreboard clock.  A fact that wasn't lost on the older supporters in the capacity crowd. The goal was extremely significant as it meant Celtic were Champions again with a single point required to make it mathematically certain.

Billy had coined the phrase"There is a fairytale about this club" in the Centenary season and never was it as true on this extraordinary occasion.

Jozo captures the moment.

A new era begins with Neil Lennon taking over in the "dug-out".  Easter Road was not a happy away ground for Rodgers but Celtic record victory for the first time in a number of years.

Another commanding Celtic home performance in 2019.  The highlight being a fantastic free kick by Odsonne Edouard that made it 3-1.

Footnote:

The match turned out to be Brendan Rodgers last match at Celtic. The timing of his departure meant he had won all seven Scottish domestic competitions he took part in.  It was great while it lasted.
