Two crates of Moet & Chandon descended on Celtic’s dressing room by way of congratulations to Charlie Nicholas for reaching 30 goals, and no sooner did they arrive than they attracted the attention of Billy McNeill.
‘They’re not all yours,’ said boss McNeill, eyes towards the bottles of bubbly.
‘I don’t like Moet champagne, gaffer,’ replied young Nicholas.
‘What you going to do with it, then?’
‘You tell me, gaffer.’
Danny McGrain, Celtic’s captain, joined the conversation, keen to stress that there were 16 players in the dressing room.
Charlie Nicholas was a prolific striker who played for the likes of Celtic, Arsenal and Aberdeen
He picked up the nickname 'Champagne Charlie' early in his career and it has stuck ever since
