In the decade between season 63-64 to 73-74, Celtic played in six European semi-finals, also getting to two finals. Wonderful players and teams from that era...

Back then, you built a team instead of scouring half the world with a sack of money to buy titles. It gave smaller leagues a fair chance, with amazing teams like Celtic, Ajax, and Benfica.

Apart from the hacks it was a hell of a game, what a team Celtic were then. This old Scotland seems so long ago now, but also, still so dear.

There wasn't a final whistle, just a cease-fire 😂😂

Rangers fan here but remember that Celtic team. Wow some fantastic players on that pitch. My favourites were Jinky, Hay and the King but the rest were even top class. The laddie Callaghan was very underrated

Atletico's goalkeeper, Miguel Reina, is the father of Pepe Reina who played for Liverpool and Villarreal.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember this assault on Celtic, in this day and age the game would have been abandoned due to athletico having no men left, they took it in turns to assault Jimmy Johnstone. Not a Celtic supporter but this was an absolute disgrace.

Remember this game so well . It was hard to forget. . What they dished out was outrageous. . How the assault on Jinky at 6 mins wasn't a straight red was unbelievable. Was the ball out when Celtic scored . . <br>We were all happy we they got dumped by bayern. The dirtiest team ever .
