Liverpool’s connection with Celtic is often talked about, but it’s origins aren’t as clear or as historical as is often portrayed. Heart of Midlothian v Celtic – 11th of March 1989 – 1-0. Ends from. Just what it will have done to their minds about resuming playing is not yet clear.“They have had more important matters on their mind than football in recent days.”.After the moving prelude to the match which saw the two teams stand together in the centre circle, Liverpool wasted little time in getting back into their groove against a Hoops side which had endured an energy-sapping 90 minutes in a 0-0 draw at Aberdeen just a day earlier.With Dalglish backed up by John Barnes, Ian Rush, Ray Houghton and fellow Scots Alan Hansen, Steve Nicol and Gary Gillespie, it was a formidable Anfield side.King Kenny opened the scoring in 20 minutes when he tucked home from close range.John Aldridge came off the bench to make it 2-0 after Hoops keeper Packie Bonner had parried a stinging Houghton shot.Scouser Aldridge made it three with a header after another substitute, Peter Beardsley, had come on to torment the ever-tiring Parkhead rearguard.Rush scored the fourth and final goal of the afternoon when he dinked over the out-rushing Bonner to confirm Dalglish’s men had lost little of their quality amid the grief.That was to be proven a week later when they defeated Forest 3-1 in the rearranged semi before going on to lift the FA Cup with a magical 3-2 win over Merseyside rivals Everton.Celtic too would lift the Scottish Cup that year – beating Rangers 1-0 at Hampden.Stark recalled: “On the day of the Hillsborough Disaster we had been at Seamill down in Ayrshire preparing for our Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibs on the Sunday.“The news of the tragedy filtered through and like everyone it was just a complete shock.“To see what Liverpool players, staff, supporters and the whole city went through in the days and weeks afterwards, attending funerals – I really don’t know how they held themselves together so well.“So it was a huge occasion to play in the memorial match a couple of weeks later.“We had actually played Aberdeen the day before so that’s maybe one of the reasons we got thumped.“But they had a seriously good team out that day.
