On This Day 1988 | Celtic 2-1 Dundee United | The Centenary Scottish Cup final
On this day in 1988, Celtic clinched the Centenary Year double by lifting the Scottish Cup after defeating Dundee United 2-1 in the final at Hampden.
Just three weeks earlier, a massive crowd at Celtic Park saw the Hoops deliver the league title with a 3-0 win over Dundee as the Birthday Bhoys celebrated in style.
The Tannadice side stood between the Celts and double glory and it looked like they would be party-poopers when Kevin Gallagher opened the scoring soon after the break. However, Frank McAvennie equalised in the 76th minute and then, with time running out, in the final minute as Celtic had done so many times in that historic season, the opposition net rustled again as McAvennie struck once more – cue bedlam on the terraces and in Celtic households everywhere.
THE centenary season double dream looked over just four minutes after the break against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup final when Kevin Gallagher put the Tannadice men ahead.
This was a season of eleventh-hour reversal of fortunes for Celtic, though, when the opposition choked on the final dregs served up in the last-chance saloon and it was a season when no Celtic fans dared leave the game with a couple of minutes to go – they would miss all the action.
Frank McAvennie was Celtic’s last-minute hero on this occasion and there were barely 30 seconds left on the clock when he smacked in the winner to cap a tremendous season all round.
