Henry Anthony "Harry" Hood (born 3 October 1944) is a Scottish former football player and manager.

Football career

Celtic

Hood played for Celtic, for whom he scored the winning goal in the final of the 1971 Scottish Cup, a 2-1 replay win over Rangers. He also scored the first goal in the 1974 Scottish Cup Final in a 3-0 victory over Dundee United. With Celtic, Hood won five Scottish league championships, three Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups. He scored 123 goals in all competitions. His presence onto the field at Parkhead was often greeted with a 'Hare Krishna' chant.[citation needed] Hood scored a hat-trick in an Old Firm game against Rangers, which was a 1973–74 Scottish League Cup semi-final.[4] This feat was not repeated until Moussa Dembélé achieved it in September 2016.[4][5]

Queen of the South

Hood ended his playing career with Dumfries club, Queen of the South in season 1977-78. Hood played at Palmerston in the era of Allan Ball, Iain McChesney, Nobby Clark, Crawford Boyd and Jocky Dempster. Hood returned to manage Queens in the summer of 1981 just after the club had been promoted to the middle of Scotland's then three divisions.[6]

Later years

Hood retired and is now the owner of Scottish company Lisini Pub Co, which owns and runs several pubs and restaurants in the Greater Glasgow Area.[7]
