Not only did the Hoops win the title, but they stopped bitter rivals Rangers from winning their 10th title in a row.
Iconic triumph
The official Celtic Twitter account noted the anniversary. Therefore, some fans on social media have responded with their memory of the day.
One fan went as far to describe the day as ‘my favourite day’ at Celtic Park. Here are some of the best reactions from social media to the anniversary:

The game itself was an extremely tense one. The Hoops needed to win the game, whilst dropping any points would give Rangers a chance to overtake Celtic at the top of the league.
Off to perfect start
Celtic got off to a perfect start through a Henrik Larsson goal. However, the Hoops huffed and puffed and failed to get the second goal until Harald Brattbakk’s strike brought huge relief to Celtic Park.
The win brought incredible scenes to Celtic Park. Following the title presentations the fans invaded the pitch. The celebrations hadn’t been seen at Celtic Park for years. Therefore, it was understandable to see fans on the pitch.
The victory over St Johnstone must go down as one of the most important wins in Celtic’s history. It is no wonder fans look back on that day with joy.
