No other game in Celtic's history compares to the
European Cup final triumph in 1967
On Thursday, May 25, eleven Scotsmen and a Scottish manager all born within a 30-mile radius of
Celtic Park became the kings of Europe, defeating Inter Milan of
Italy 2-1 in Lisbon's National Stadium
to become the first British
team to win the
European Cup.

The names of these men will be revered for evermore for their
achievement.
The years have not diminished it. If anything, time has only
served to make the triumph all the more remarkable.

In an era of the Champions League, when Europe's premier club
tournament has been moulded and meddled with to suit the big clubs
and, more importantly, the television companies, it's the Spaniards
and the Germans, even the English, who now dominate the latter
stages of the tournament; and it's not even always the champions of
each particular country. |
|
Back in 1967, however, it was only the champions who qualified to
take part in the European Cup. Celtic, having won the first of what
would eventually be nine consecutive league titles, entered the
competition for the very first time. Nine games later they had
lifted the trophy.......It all began on September 1966 |
