On Saturday, 3 May, Aberdeen played at Hibernian, with Celtic engaged at Love St. The Dons also had a crucial match in hand, at Partick.
Easter Road was at that time a bogey ground for Aberdeen, who had yet to win there in the Premier League. Presuming Celtic won, Aberdeen would not be proclaimed champions at Easter Road. They would need a further point or two at Firhill the following Wednesday. Whereas Hibs were bottom of the league and going down, St Mirren were a feisty outfit, already sure of finishing third. They could be banked upon to resist Celtic.
Aberdeen polished off poor Hibs without fuss. The saddest man was Hibs' debutant goalkeeper, Dave Huggins, who was beaten five times and whose first match for Hibernian would also be his last. The points were safe for Aberdeen long before the end; all that mattered was the score at Love St. Thousands of mini-radios were pressed to thousands of ears.
Ten minutes from time Celtic, who were drawing 0-0, were awarded a penalty. A groan swept round Easter Road, followed by a mighty cheer. The referee had consulted a linesman and changed his mind. Aberdeen's game finished first, and anxious seconds passed before confirmation of the draw at Love St launched Ferguson's famous dance on the pitch.
