April 29 really is a Green Letter Day in the Celtic calendar.
Deep into the business end of the season there has been plenty to celebrate down the years, back in 1967 Willie Wallace scored twice against Aberdeen to win the Scottish Cup, a memorable month was about to unfold.
Into a new century Lubo Moravcik scored a double at Ibrox before Henrik Larsson netted his 50th goal of the season, the stadium was three quarters empty when the Swede found the net. A young Shaun Maloney was part of the celebrations.
Back in 2012 Celtic fans gathered to say farewell to the toxic O** F**, on the park it was almost as memorable with Charlie Mulgrew, Kris Commons and Gary Hooper hammering nails into the coffin of the corpse..
The trend continued with the Ibrox Tribute Act, in 2018 Graeme Murty was in charge for the final time as stars like Andy Halliday and Jason Cummings provided the support cast to French Eddie, PC Lustig and James Forrest as a 5-0 win clinched the title a fortnight after a 4-0 win in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Ibrox.
