Former Celtic loanee Craig Bellamy admits the pain of losing the league title to Rangers on Helicopter Sunday still sticks with him.
The final day of the 2004-05 season saw Martin O'Neill 's side go to Motherwell needing only to win to secure the title to keep Rangers from claiming the title. Celtic took the lead at Fir Park as Chris Sutton put them on the path to glory despite Alex McLeish's men leading at Easter Road, but Scott McDonald struck twice in the dying minutes to turn the title race on its head and seal one of the most dramatic ever finish to a top flight season.
And more than 17 years on Bellamy, who spent six months on loan at Parkhead from Newcastle United, admits the pain still lingers after the Celtic players let the title slip through their fingers on the last day of the campaign. Despite the Welshman lifting the Scottish Cup during his time in Glasgow's east end he admits the defeat in Lanarkshire still gnaws away at him.
