Season 1986–87 was McClair’s last at Celtic. Despite a bright start to the season from Celtic, the team’s form began to fade during the winter months and they squandered a nine-point lead in the league, which was won by Rangers. Another league cup final defeat against Rangers (despite an outstanding goal by McClair) and a fourth-round defeat at Hearts in the Scottish Cup saw Celtic finish the season without any silverware. Despite Celtic’s lack of achievement, McClair was an outstanding success that year.
