It came via a 1-0 win in April 1983, a month before the then fresh-faced striker netted the opening goal in the fabled Cup-Winnersâ Cup triumph over Real Madrid, and only two months after Black netted a hat-trick for Alex Fergusonâs men at Celtic Park â the last visiting player to do so at the arena.
