12th January – Seven Memorable Celtic Moments on This Day | OneFootball

Seven memorable Celtic moments, with a nod to the late Celtic Historian and Celtic Star legend David Potter, on this day starting in 1907…

James Bauchop scored

ONE – SATURDAY 12 JANUARY 1907 – Jimmy Bauchop, playing one of his rare games for Celtic in place of the unjustly suspended Jimmy Quinn, scores today against Clyde at Shawfield. Peter Somers scores the other in the 2-0 victory and Celtic remain on course to be the first team to lift the Scottish League and the Scottish Cup in the same season.

Tommy Kiernan scored

TWO – SATURDAY 12 JANUARY 1946 – In poor weather, Celtic beat Third Lanark 3-2 at Celtic Park with goals from Tommy Kiernan, Joe Rae and Jackie Gallacher. It is a rather uninspiring time in Celtic history, and rumours abound that Jimmy Delaney wishes to move on.

Bobby Murdoch scored twice

THREE – WEDNESDAY 12 JANUARY 1966 – On a cold January night, Celtic beat Dinamo Kiev 3-0 in the first leg of their European Cup Winners’ Cup quarter final with one goal from Jimmy Johnstone and two from Bobby Murdoch. At half-time the 64,000 crowd are entertained by a display of ball control given by young Celtic reserve George Connelly.
