What better day than Easter Sunday to resurrect Celtic’s league hopes Happy Easter to Celtic supporters everywhere! Green Brigade Easter Rising display The Celts are in action later today on the 30th anniversary of the Bhoys’ first ever Easter Sunday fixture. The Bhoys did not play on any Sunday until 1974.
Even then, more than two further decades would still pass before the Celts played on Easter. This was not a memorable fixture; on 7 April 1996, Celtic lost 2-1 to Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-final. Pierre van Hooijdonk’s strike was not enough as goals from Laudrup and McCoist gave the Ibrox men a 2-1 win.
Memories View Today will mark Celtic’s 14th Easter Sunday match. So far, this day has witnessed six wins for the Bhoys alongside four draws and three defeats. There have been 23 goals for Celtic and 11 conceded.

In fact, this year is the Celts’ third successive Easter Sunday match so hopefully the winning run will continue.
