Dundee United 2 Celtic 3 - 22nd April 1981

By the time they arrived at Tannadice with just 3 league games remaining, Celtic were in top form. The previous 8 games had produced 7 wins and a draw, scoring 25 goals and conceding just 3. This run had left them 6 clear of Aberdeen, and a massive 13 ahead of Rangers (19 points in today's currency).

A single point against Dundee United was all that was needed to clinch the league title. Goals from Murdo MacLeod, Frank McGarvey and Tommy Burns gave the Hoops a 3-2 win, and Danny McGrain lifted the league trophy.
