I just listened to Glittering Prize by Simple Minds. I loved it way back then but I think that Glittering Celtic. We may never experience what my dad witnessed in 67. But I love Celtic all the same. After the Seville final my Dad (God rest his soul) asked what was wrong. I told him I was gutted. To which he replied 'how do you think it felt in 1970 when we lost to Feyenoord' I don't know to this day if I said what I was feeling which was - you saw the Lisbon Lions! Anyway - Celtic Forever.

Glittering Prize is Celtic. That's what I meant to say. Supporting Celtic is THE greatest thing until you have children - then you teach them the same. I was taught early but I CHOSE this. Hail Hail. BTW Jackie McNamara's first goal v Hibs at Easter Road in 95/ 96 season is why I love Celtic more than before.

L-S-86: just got back from Portugal late Sat afternoon, when we were there we went to the Estádio Nacional: Now used as a sports complex.
The workman were there and the fences were down, So we walked straight into the stadium and onto the pitch. Shivers running down my spine, I said to my dad ( god rest his soul) : Well now dad, this was one of the best days to be a Celtic Supporter.
I stood in awe of what we accomplished in 67, with the goals we scored
getting played out in my mind as i looked onto the pitch
My youngest son ( 16) who was with us just stared in total disbelief, we took pics and made our way round to the main stand, unfortunately we could not get into the main stand as it was locked, so we sat just in front of it, still more shivers.
we had taken a taxi to the stadium and the driver waited, when we returned to the taxi the driver said, nice stadium what were you looking for i turned and showed him the Celtic top my son was wearing . Oh he said 50 years ago the FAMOUS GLASGOW CELTIC . ( his words ) and then he started to name our team .
I does not matter where you go in this world, you will always find a Celtic supporter:

Thought I would just share that with you all:
