Celtic in the Eighties

The last book from the late David Potter tells the story of a decade at Celtic FC which began and ended with Scottish Cup finals – a good reflection of the thrilling rollercoaster of events and emotions which defined the 1980s.

Exciting young teams created by Billy McNeill and David Hay captured hearts as they challenged for honours against the toughest of opposition at home and abroad. These were led by inspirational captains, Danny McGrain, Roy Aitken then Paul McStay, as Celtic supporters enjoyed so many iconic triumphs.

Who can forget those late comebacks to win the Scottish Cup against all odds, with unbelievable strikes from Davie Provan and Frank McGarvey in 1985 then Frank McAvennie's Centenary double three years later? Or thrilling last-day title victories, none more so than the Miracle of Love Street in May 1986?

Glorious European nights against Ajax and Sporting Lisbon, and of course, this is Celtic, so there will always be a Partizan Belgrade thrown into the mix. Published in 2025.
