When I look back on special moments in my life, chief among them going on holiday, having a birthday party, and starting school, these all fade compared to the day I saw my team triumph over their greatest rivals. The reason why I have chosen this is that it is a very special moment for me as it was the first time I went to an old firm game at Ibrox and it was the first time Celtic had won by 4 goals and it was the highest that Celtic had won at Ibrox in our club's history.
It was the morning of the old firm and I had been buzzing for this match since the day I got the tickets. I was so excited that the game was only hours away. I got ready to go to the place where I get picked up for away matches. The bus arrived around 11 o’clock and what an atmosphere there was. The whole bus was bouncing, everyone was so excited for the match. Yet my emotions were highly mixed, while I was full of excitement, at the same time I was very nervous as it was our rivals, known as the old firm clash, it was the biggest rivalry in the world. We were fast approaching the stadium and I actually started to feel sick. Getting off the bus and I just see a flood of blue all Rangers fans, it felt like I was in a different country, I wanted to show the pride I had for my own people, the atmosphere was so good, each set of fans belting their own songs, it was time to go into the stadium. The queues for the turnstiles were huge, I was just dying to get in and the hair on my arms lifted, I had goosebumps before I knew it was time for kick-off.
The game had started and it had been a flying start for Celtic, we had taken the lead in the 9th minute, it was the best feeling ever that I have probably ever felt so far as a Celtic fan. The whole Celtic end was shaking, something I have never experienced. I have been to a lot of big Celtic games but nothing beats this, everyone jumping up and down including me, it was just the best atmosphere I have heard so far in my lifetime, it was a very special moment for me.
At halftime, Celtic was 2-0 up. I guess that was £50 well spent I was thinking and then as if that wasn’t pleasant enough Celtic had gone 3-0 up. We were in dreamland, I turned to my little brother and my mum and I grabbed them as tightly as I could. Now at this point, I knew Celtic weren’t going to lose and the game was won by this point, so it was just about partying and enjoying the rest of the match, all the worry and sickness were replaced with supreme confidence. This was the happiest moment of my life indeed by the time the final whistle blew; Celtic had won 5-1 and made history and I was able to experience it with the people that I always go to the matches with and love.
As I was heading home none of my feelings had changed, I was still as excited and happy the way I was when Celtic took the lead. The whole bus was bouncing, everyone singing and dancing all the way home. It is one game that I will never forget in my whole life, no matter what happens. Considering how much it means to me, as I was returning home I remembered suddenly we had another old firm coming up in a few weeks. It was a few weeks away, and I couldn’t have been any happier. My mum calls on me to come to see her and she tells me that we have another ticket sorted for the next match. The next match was at Hampden, a place where Celtic hadn’t been beaten in a while, and I was full of confidence that we would win. And I was correct, Celtic won the match. I was over the moon, it was 11 p.m. and it just sunk into me that we had won 5-1 over our greatest rivals at their own stadium and that I have witnessed Celtic make history with my own eyes that nobody will see for a good few years, even more, and even better, it was also part of the season where Celtic when the whole domestic season unbeaten and had a clean sweep of all three trophies available.
The best thing about being a football is the passion and excitement that come with it. I just love following Celtic home and away with my mum and my little brother. The reason me loving is that it has been a tradition running through the family for many years and it has carried on during my lifetime.
