It's certainly been a bittersweet season for us, never more so than this past week and especially with the sad news relating to two of our most famous players. It's ironic that the news of Billy McNeill's worsening illness and Tommy Gemmell's death have come so close to the milestone of 50 years since Lisbon, which as well as being a time of celebration, will no doubt be tinged with sadness. The current crop of players couldn't have done anymore so far to make this anniversary season more memorable and fitting and they deserve immense credit for that along with the manager, but today's terrible news just goes to show that no matter how many great players and teams we witness as Celtic fans, the Lisbon Lions will never be matched, there will never be another like them. Although many, myself included, are too young to remember them, we are all saddened by the news but we should also be grateful and proud that we support such a fantastic club which created such wonderful history. RIP Tommy Gemmell, YNWA.
