Celtic's 100 Greatest Games

Nostalgia TV programmes are all the rage, but the best ones have all been done and now the likes of Channel 5 are really scraping the barrel with things like '100 Greatest TV Weather Forecasts' and 'I Loved Last Week'.

Well, I say all the best ones have been done... except for the 100 greatest Celtic games, therefore I have drawn up the list.

I haven't actually put it on order, apart from the top two the rest are as they came from memory or in the order I found them in my if you know the history book (Leeds Utd games and Rangers 4-0 in '69 are just two that should be much higher).

Actually, a more appropriate title for this post would be 'Celtic's 100 Greatest Games according to a 30-something fan's memory and snippets he might have seen on TV or read about'.

I have a natural bias towards 1980 to the present, so comments would be welcome from fans with... ahem... longer memories.
