Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which was the only trophy Celtic won in 2000?

Answer: Scottish Football League Cup

This was the only trophy of the Dalglish/Barnes "Dream Team" era, beating Aberdeen two nil in a Hampden final, with goals from Vidar Riseth and Tommy Johnson.

2. Who was appointed to the managers position in June 2000?

Answer: Martin O'Neill

The 'Blessed Martin' joined Celtic from Leicester City, and promised to "bring success to the football club", a promise he more than lived up to, winning a domestic treble in his first season, and leading the club to their first European final in 32 years.

3. Who scored a hat-trick in the 2001 CIS Cup Final against Kilmarnock?

Answer: Henrik Larsson

It was Henrik Larsson of course, just three of his total of 53 goals in all competitions that season which saw him set a post-war record for the club and win European football's Golden Boot.

4. Who did Celtic knock out to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stages for the first time in 2001?

Answer: AFC Ajax

Celtic beat Ajaz 3-1 away in the Amsterdam Arena before losing 1-0 at Parkhead, to qualify with an aggregate score of 3-2. This put Celtic into Group E, with Juventus, Porto, and Rosenborg.

5. Where did Celtic play the 2003 UEFA Cup Final?

Answer: Seville

Celtic lost the UEFA Cup Final to Porto after extra time, the game being drawn at 2-2, with both of Celtic's goals coming from Henrik Larsson headers. This match was also the first-ever match played under "Silver Goal" rules, though the rule did not come into play, and the rule has subsequently been scrapped.

6. Who beat Celtic by five goals, Celtic's heaviest ever European defeat, in Gordon Strachan's first game in charge?

7. Which was Gordon Strachan's first trophy as manager?

Answer: Scottish Football League Cup

Celtic beat Dunfermline 3-0, with goals from Zurawski, Maloney, and Dublin. The game played at Hampden, was against a highly emotional backdrop, just two days after the funeral of Jinky Johnstone, and all Celtic players wore the number seven on their shorts and changed into jerseys saying "Johnstone, 7" prior to collecting the trophy.

8. Who scored the winning goal against Manchester United that sent Celtic into the knock out stages of the modern UEFA Champions League for the first time?

Answer: Shinsuke Nakamura

9. Who did Celtic play in the UEFA Champions League last 16 in 2008?

Answer: FC Barcelona

Celtic drew FC Barcelona in the last 16, the second successive season Celtic reached this stage of the competition.

Answer: Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink

Celtic beat Dundee Utd 1-0 at Tannadice, whilst Rangers lost 2-0 to Aberdeen to clinch the SPL, Celtic's third successive title, on the last day of the season.
