April 30, 1968, East End Park. Rangers lost 2-3 at home to Aberdeen on the previous Saturday, the same day that Dunfermline won the Cup, beating Hearts 3-1 at Hampden. Celtic’s game v Dunfermline was postponed until the Wednesday night, but with Rangers losing, we couldn’t be caught – we were so far ahead on goal average, we could afford to lose 16-0. Nevertheless, a monster crowd packed in to EEP to salute the champs and the cup winners, including guys on the roof (as had happened at Fir Park in ’66!). Celtic won 2-1, with a brace from Lennox. Lennox scored in each of the last 11 league games of the season – must be a record!
Front page of the Times (London) on May 1st 1968 over the headline “49 Hurt as Football Crowd Surges Through Barriers”. Caption reads: “Ambulance men attend to casualties after a barrier collapse at the Dunfermline-Celtic soccer match last night”.
