Scott McDonald slammed for Celtic Helicopter Sunday celebrations as Motherwell joy branded 'absolute disgrace' by former Parkhead man
The Aussie went on to play for the Hoops but Alan Thompson is still raging about the Fir Park upset.
“All we had to do was win the game that day and we’d be crowned champions again.
“Chris Sutton scored, we were in a great position and we missed some great chances to put that game to bed.
“The league was coming back to Celtic Park until the 88th minute when self-confessed Celtic fanatic Scott McDonald scored, then bagged another in the 90th minute to hand Rangers the title.
"It was utter devastation. I’ve had lows in football but this was something from out of this world. I’d never seen or felt anything like it.
“I can understand ex-Rangers man Terry Butcher going nuts as the
Motherwell boss, but McDonald celebrated like he’d just won the league.
“Back at Easter Road, Marvin Andrews said God was behind us losing the league in the last two minutes of the season.
“He went crazy with joy when thousands of Celtic supporters were on the floor in tears.
"The way Motherwell celebrated was an absolute disgrace. There was no respect. It was like they won that title.
“I don’t know what God was playing at if that was true. It was a stake through the heart to all of us on that pitch at Fir Park.
"I’m still broken-hearted about it, and it brings a bad feeling to my stomach.
“Now, 16 years on, I still can’t describe the feeling. If we thought losing in Seville and losing the league on the last day in 2003 were bad, this was tenfold."
