#OTD March 10, 1965, Jock Stein took charge of his first match as Celtic manager

Early in 1965, the news broke that Jock Stein would be leaving the management seat at Easter Road to take up the post at his former club and become Celtic’s fourth manager... it was at that moment that the tide started to turn in Scottish football And exactly 60 years ago today, on March 10, 1965, Jock Stein took charge of his first match as Celtic manager, with his team duly delivering an emphatic 6-0 away win with Bertie Auld scoring FIVE of the goals. On the anniversary of that match, which was the start of something truly special for Celtic, we take a look back to 1965, when the Hoops finished eighth in the league but still lifted their first piece of silverware under their new manager… On January 30, 1965, Celtic played Aberdeen in a league match. It was a crushing victory for the Hoops as they recorded an 8-0 victory. John 'Yogi' Hughes scored five of those goals, with Bertie Auld, Bobby Murdoch and Bobby Lennox scoring the other three. The following day the club announced that a new manager was to be appointed. Jock Stein, the former Celtic captain and now manager of Hibernian, would take over at Celtic Park, with his former team-mate Sean Fallon as his assistant.
