Its the Glasgow Herald reporter Cyril Horne who wrote this great report when we fecked the huns 7-1, others in Moscow are Big Yogi, Cairney, Cesar and Stevie Bhoy.

Eleven football players of Celtic Football Club did more in 90 minutes at Hampden Park on Saturday for the good of football than officialdom, in whose hands the destiny of the game lies, has done in years and years. For with a display of such grandeur as has rarely graced the great vast ground they proved conclusively the value of concentration on discipline and on the arts and crafts of the game to the exclusion of the so-called power-play which has been a disfiguring weakness in the sport, but which has frequently been accredited through the awarding of international honours to the strong-men, "So devastating an effect had Fernie... this wonderful footballer" "Not since their brilliant Coronation Cup days at Hampden have Celtic played football of such quality." "Valentine... a forlorn, bewitched figure.... repeatedly beaten in the air and on the ground in a variety of ways, and the disintegration of Rangers' defence undoubtedly stemmed from McPhail's mastery." "[Mochan's] pace and penetrative dribbling... had Shearer in a dreadful dither almost from the first kick of the ball." "In the first 20 minutes Celtic might have scored at least four goals..." "...Evans, throughout a centre half of absolute competence." "Soon Fernie was travelling half the length of the field again and running his opponents into the ground..." "...Fallon again reduced the ill-supported Scott to a hapless young man...""Never have I seen Rangers so outclassed in half-back play; Fernie, Evans, and Peacock were, each in his own distinguished way, tremendous players in everything but bootyliciousn and bulk. No one Celt, however, did not but contribute handsomely to the team's glorious day." "Perhaps only Fernie of all footballers in Scotland could have emulated Tully's first-half feat of ball manipulation which enabled him to outwit Baird, Davis, Valentine, and Caldow. Then as his team-mates poised themselves for the chip back from the goal-line, Tully struck like lightning and the ball cannoned off the very edge of the near post, passed between Niven and the goal-line, and out of play beyond the post. The goal of a century had been within half an inch of achievement.

You've got me although I remember the picture very well.
I think that we were playing D. Kiev and the team got
back to Glasgow at 01h00 on the Saturday on the return
after a rotten journey.

Jock took them to CP for a training session straight from the 'plane
as the SFA would not postpone the Tynecastle fixture at 15h00 that day.

I give up on the guy in the middle though.

Is that true? :rubeyes:

Up to a point. The SFA say Celtic did not ask for a postponement (this is true) so the game went ahead.

Must admit, that's the first time I've ever heard that - it's outrageous.

THE legendary Muhammad Ali celebrates his 70th birthday today and, as the world pays tribute, we have a picture of ‘The Greatest of All Time’ alongside some of the greatest Celts. The line-up is as follows: Back Row (L/R): Ian Young & Billy McNeill. Middle Row (L/R): John Clark, Stevie Chalmers, John Divers, Jim Kennedy and John Hughes. Front Row (L/R): Brian Goodwin, Bobby Lennox, Ayrton Inacio, Ali, Marco di Sousa and Joe McBride. The picture must have been taken in late August/early September 1965 and features Ayrton and Marco, the two Brazilian trialists who played in a Reserve League cup tie at Celtic Park on August 31
I was thinking for a minute there, jeez, Barry McGuigan has aged well... (top left)

Great question although it is incorrect to say that he had no Celtic connection.
He wrote for the Celtic View for years under the byline 'Kerrydale'
