Neil Mochan’s strike flies past Hibernian keeper Tommy Younger into the top corner to give underdogs Celtic the lead just before the half-hour. Peter has a bird’s eye view of this from his place in the Hampden terracing at the far corner of the ground and rates it the best goal he ever saw.
Legend is that the shot was struck from a bit further out every time Neil told the story! Jimmy Walsh scored a late second as the Hoops yet again won a trophy competed for by top sides from north and south of the border. “Hampden was covered in banners of green.”
