Lennons Celtic were trailing Rangers by 15 points in November but a 17 game winning streak helped overturn that deficit.Gary Hooper finished the leagues top goalscorer after finding the net 24 times.They ended up winning the league by 20 points as Rangers were deducted 10 but then liquidated and were relegated to the bottom tier.
4Masterminds win over Barcelona
A historic night for Celtic in November 2012 when they beat Spanish giants Barcelona 2-1 at Celtic Park.Victor Wanyama gave them the lead in the first half and teenager Tony Watt put them 2-0 in the closing minutes.Lionel Messi did get one back in injury time but it was too late for a Barcelona comeback.

Luckily he was able to see the funny side.
