Celtic supporters will never tire of reliving Tom Rogic’s dramatic Hampden winner against Aberdeen.
Nine years after the Australian sealed the Hoops’ historic Invincible Treble, Celtic TV resurfaced the unforgettable moment on social media.
For Derek McInnes, it serves as a painful reminder of how Celtic delivered a heartbreaking late flourish to deny him silverware, just as they did this season against Hearts.
Should Derek McInnes face punishment for his response to Celtic’s penalty call against Motherwell?
Celtic’s Invincible Treble moment still stands above the rest
Rogic’s late strike against Aberdeen remains one of the defining moments of modern Celtic history.
The Hoops had already wrapped up the Premiership title and League Cup before arriving at Hampden looking to complete a domestic clean sweep without losing a single game.
Aberdeen pushed Rodgers’ side all the way, but Celtic still found a decisive moment when it mattered most.
That became a running theme during Rodgers’ first spell at Parkhead. No matter how competitive opponents made things, Celtic almost always delivered the final blow.
Celtic fans know exactly why the Rogic winner still hurts McInnes
McInnes deserves credit for building an Aberdeen side that consistently challenged near the top end of Scottish football during that era.
Still, moments like Rogic’s winner highlighted the difference between competing with Celtic and actually overcoming them. Aberdeen were seconds away from forcing extra time before Rogic produced one of the club’s most iconic goals.
And just as Daizen Maeda did this season, Celtic broke McInnes’ heart with late goals that ended his bid to become a legend at Hearts.
That is why the clip still resonates so strongly nine years later.
For Celtic supporters, it is a reminder of a legendary team that simply refused to fail. For Aberdeen fans and McInnes, it is another replay of a brutal Hampden ending that remains impossible to forget.
