Victory In Europe Cup

Victory In Europe Cup

The Victory In Europe Cup was a one-off football tournament won by Celtic F.C. on May 9, 1945.

To celebrate the end of hostilities on the European continent in 1945, the Glasgow Charity Cup committee presented the Victory in Europe Cup to be awarded to the winners of a charity cup final. Rangers F.C. were invited to participate but declined as they had a forthcoming cup tie against Motherwell F.C.. This allowed Queens Park to step in and play Celtic. The game was well contested in front of a large crowd and Celtic won only by the margin of a corner kick after the teams could not be separated by goals.

The winning Celtic team was:Miller, Hogg, P. McDonald, Lynch, Mallan, McPhail, Paton, M. McDonald, Gallacher, Evans and McLaughlin.

After this win Celtic were to endure one of the worst periods in their history only avoiding relegation on the last day of the season in the 1947/48 campaign.
