Aberdeen Scottish Cup victory to deny Celtic the domestic treble in 1970 was so impressive Hoops fans applauded the Reds as they exited Hampden. Just four days later Celtic would defeat Leeds United 2-1 in a Battle Of Britain to reach the European Cup final against Feyenoord. “Celtic went on to reach the European Cup final that season and beating them to win the Scottish Cup was the highlight of my career. Aberdeen were due to face Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden tomorrow. First was losing the Scottish Cup final 2-0 to the Hoops in 1967.
