Andy Ritchie scores an 88th minute penalty for Morton against Celtic at Cappielow, putting us 1-0 up and giving us our first Premier Division win over them and our first home win over them since 1951.

The Celtic goalkeeper is Roy Baines, who was the player that we swapped Ritchie for in 1976, and who would return to Morton on a free a few months later. The Morton keeper was on-loan American Dave Brcic, who played a blinder that day.
