The 1987–88 Scottish Football League was Celtic's 94th season of competitive football, and it marked the club's centenary. Davie Hay was dismissed as manager during the close season following a disappointing 1986-87 campaign, in which the team, despite holding a 9-point lead at the turn of the year, lost the league title to a resurgent Rangers F.C. under Graeme Souness and failed to win any trophies.
The Celtic board opted to bring back Billy McNeill[2] as manager, despite an acrimonious split in 1983. McNeill returned to the club after four years managing in England with Manchester City F.C. and Aston Villa F.C..
The playing squad underwent significant changes in the summer of 1987, with key players such as Brian McClair, Mo Johnston, Murdo MacLeod, and Alan McInally all departing. Danny McGrain was given a free transfer, and Davie Provan retired due to ill health. Centre-half Mick McCarthy was signed by Davie Hay just days before his departure. Billy McNeill then brought in new signings, including Motherwell striker Andy Walker, Sheffield Wednesday full-back Chris Morris, and Aberdeen midfielder Billy Stark.[3]
As the season progressed, Celtic continued to search for attacking reinforcements following the loss of strikers Johnston and McClair. After early speculation about a return for fans' favorite Charlie Nicholas, the club eventually signed forwards Frank McAvennie and Joe Miller.
Celtic made a solid start to their league campaign, but in the autumn, they were knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Borussia Dortmund in the first round and eliminated from the Scottish League Cup at the quarter-final stage by Aberdeen. Despite these setbacks, their league form remained consistent, and they went into the New Year derby match with a three-point lead over second-placed Hearts and a five-point lead over Rangers.[4] After defeating Rangers, Celtic went on an unbeaten run until a potential league-clinching match against Hearts at Tynecastle in April, where a defeat meant they had to wait until the following week to secure the title.
In front of a packed home crowd at Celtic Park, Celtic clinched the league title with a convincing victory over Dundee. The team also reached the Scottish Cup Final after a dramatic comeback against Hearts in the semi-final, scoring twice in the last four minutes to win 2–1. In the final, Celtic again came from behind to defeat Dundee United, with Frank McAvennie scoring the decisive goal in the last minute, sealing a league and cup double in the club's centenary year.
Pre-season and friendlies
[edit]Celtic prepared for their 1987-88 centenary season with a Scandinavian tour, before playing a friendly match at home against ex-Celtic player Charlie Nicholas Arsenal team and then Tommy Burns testimonial match against Liverpool. In November Celtic organised a testimonial for retired former player David Provan, who retired from the game through illness at the age of just 31.
