Trivia

  • This game was arranged as part of the deal which brought Mark McGhee to Celtic from Hamburg for £150,000.
  • Rumours abound that Hamburg get to keep the gate money on the night as part of McGhee's deal.

Review

1983 European Cup winners Hamburg come to Parkhead and virtually play Celtic off the park on a bitterly cold winters night which curtails the crowd to just over 17,000. Manny Kaltz and Felix Magath are magnificent on the night.

Celtic fans leave the ground glad that it was not a competitive match.
