McEvoy, a member of Éire Go Brách Celtic supporters club in Belfast said he was “confident” of the win, even when others were doubtful.
“I was always confident, but you could feel the tension building on the boat among fans,” he said.
“The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, the scenes were unbelievable and it’s something that will live with me forever.”
McEvoy has witnessed first-hand some of Celtic’s most historic games, including the 1998 title race where a win prevented Rangers from completing 10 titles in a row.
Saturday’s 3-1 victory however, “topped it all” according to McEvoy, and it was made all the more special by his daughter Saoirse sharing it with him.
“It brought me a lot of joy to be a part of history, and to be there with my daughter, money couldn’t buy that feeling,” he said.
