# Celtic: Fans reminisce over Craig Bellamy’s hat-trick against Dundee United

**Celtic fans were reminiscing over Craig Bellamy’s stunning hat-trick against Dundee United which took place over 15 years ago.**

The former Wales international scored a brilliant trio of goals as the Hoops had a topsy-turvy encounter with the Terrors. His first goal may have been the best of the bunch as he [smashed home](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1240723213514084352) a stunning strike from the right-hand side of the penalty box. Bellamy’s second came from a pass right through the centre of the pitch as he [chipped the ball](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1240723213514084352) into the back of the net.

One fan called the strikes ‘unreal’.

The Welshman’s third proved to be just as simple as his second with the retired attacker slotting home after Chris Sutton flicked on the ball. Overall, he had a great spell with the Glasgow outfit, scoring seven times in 12 league appearances [(via Soccerbase)](https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=10692). Supporters remembered the hat-trick with fondness as they took to Twitter to react to a video of the 2005 match. Here is a selection of tweets:
