COME ON YOU BHOYS IN GREEN!!!! THE draw for the round of 32 in the UEFA Europa League has paired Celtic with Italian giants Inter Milan. In what is arguably the game of the round, two former European Cup winners will go head-to-head for a place in the last 16 . Of course, we have a little history with our friends from Italy, given that they were the opponents on May 25, 1967 when Jock Stein’s Celtic were crowned the champions of Europe. The legendary Lisbon Lions defeated Inter Milan to become the first British team to win the European Cup and write their name into football folklore : GK 1 Ronnie Simpson RB 2 Jim Craig CB 5 Billy McNeill (c) CB 6 John Clark LB 3 Tommy Gemmell CM 4 Bobby Murdoch CM 10 Bertie Auld RF 7 Jimmy Johnstone CF 8 Willie Wallace CF 9 Stevie Chalmers LF 11 Bobby Lennox Manager: Jock Stein The visit of Roberto Mancini’s side is sure to make for yet another thrilling night of European football under the floodlights at Celtic Park... and a full Celtic Park can make all the difference as the Bhoys aim to write their own piece of history. It’s been over 42 years since we hosted Inter so make sure you’re there for one of the most famous fixtures in the club’s history on what will be an unforgettable night. The home match takes place on Thursday February 19, kicking-off at 8.05pm.
