Some Celtic fans have been raving at a video of Gary Hooper scoring a goal against St. Mirren back in 2010.
In November 2010, Celtic had traveled to St.Mirren to take on the hosts in the Premiership. The game had seen Hooper grab a stoppage-time winner and the video of that goal was posted by ‘Celtic1967.com’ on Twitter.
Was that Gary Hooper's best moment as a Celtic player?
I think so
I can think of many more
On watching this video, many Celtic fans were raving. They could only have high praise for the moment.
Brilliant ??

Celtic had signed Hooper in the summer of 2010 from Scunthorpe and after spending three years at Parkhead, the striker left to join Premier League outfit Norwich.
During his time at Celtic, Hooper made as many as 138 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops. He racked up a tally of 82 goals and an impressive total of 30 assists as well. He is currently at A-League club Wellington Phoenix.
What do we think?
That win was special not just because it was a late winner from Hooper, but because St.Mirren had beaten Celtic 4-0 in their previous meeting at their home turf. While the Hoops had managed to beat St.Mirren at Parkhead by the 4-0 margin, but beating them at their home in dramatic circumstances was special.
