Celtic Away 1996-97

Delivery & Returns

The 1996–97 season was a bittersweet one for Celtic, marked by significant progress on the pitch but ultimately ending in frustration as the team narrowly missed out on the Scottish Premier League title to Rangers. Under Tommy Burns, Celtic played some of the most attractive football in the country, driven by the brilliance of Paolo Di Canio, Jorge Cadete, and Pierre van Hooijdonk—a trio that delivered goals, flair, and excitement. Despite losing only once in the league all season, too many draws proved costly, and Celtic finished runners-up despite their attacking style and strong home performances. Memorable moments included thrilling wins inspired by the “Three Amigos” and an atmosphere of renewed optimism among supporters, but the campaign is ultimately remembered for unfulfilled potential and the departure of key figures shortly afterward.
