Favourite Hunskelping Ever?

For me the 4-2 at their place on the day the Arabs won the league. 2-0 to them at half time,four goals without reply to the Jungle Jims in second half. Nicholas's last game first time round. Frances Albert McGarvey ran riot. We knew we would win, did not stop singing from start until about an hour after the game. Tims on three sides of the ground....we were next to the tunnel....pelted with 50 pence pieces the whole game. What a day.
 
My first will always be up there, 1_ 0 at home, Roddy MacDonald header. Not a great game but if your first is a winner then it's all good. Fond memories of 2-1 league cup final as well, Hampton in the rain
 
2003. Celtic 1-0 Huns. Not a brilliant game. Hartson got the only goal but it was the 1st old firm game my dad took me to. He told me I had to wait till I was 16 incase of trouble hahaha. I realised when we got to the stadium early that my dad was the trouble maker. 3 times the polis told me to calm him down before kick off. We were sitting close enough to the scum fans that my dad took it upon himself to tell them all what he thought of them. Best day ever. Closely followed by the recent 3-2 game. Took him to Wimbledon CSC to watch. He loved it

How you doing mate. Aye my dad's crazy when it comes to playing them. The old and new team. He gets up in the morning. About 6. Gets all his old flags out. Gets the tunes on and basically annoys my mum till he falls asleep about half 6 in the evening haha.
 
Up against stiff competition but nothing matches the 4 - 2 game to win the league in 79.

I doubt it will be bettered.

Unbelievable night - like a script from a movie.
 
My most memorable was probably my first one in 1982 at Celtic Park. Super Sally scored early on his debut before McStay levelled. I recall Robert Prytz almost scoring for them from miles out before Murdo McLeod won us the game. Ticket for the Jungle was £1.80 I think still have the stub somewhere.

The pre zombies had Orangemen in full regalia walking down their end pre kick off some reaction from the Celtic End as you can imagine. They had a full end and part of the main stand so it was good to silence them with a win.

Definitely the 4-2 game on 21st , May , 1979 .
The fact that it was our final game of the season and that victory would give us the league whereas if we didn’t win it was in their hands to clinch it in their remaining two league games. Those circumstances added to the sheer drama of the occasion with the ebb and flow of the scoring and turning it around after Johnny Doyle was sent off when we were 1-0 down.made it very , very special to be there .
So many memories but none better than Murdo McLeod’s screamer in the final minute followed by 10/15 minutes of singing in the Jungle “ We are the Champions “ to the tune of Mary Hopkins’ song ( “Those were the days my friends”) as thei Rangers End emptied to being completely deserted. I think the fact that there was no television coverage of the game has only added to the mysticism and legend of that unforgettable Celtic Park Monday evening. - AMAZING !
 
For me, it was the 2-0 Scottish cup win in March 97. We had not beaten them since August 94, when we had beaten them at their place. That period was without doubt the hardest to stomach, because unlike the way they've played against us over the last two years, we threw everything but the kitchen sink at them in the games during that period, but the Cardigan's horrible anti football always won out in the end. I was at Celtic park that night, Mackay and Di Canio were the scorers and I'll never forget the atmosphere and absolute outpouring of emotion and relief when we'd finally beaten them after over 2 and a half years.
