Показать описание
On this day in 1971 a crowd of 30,000 saw Celtic beat Clyde 6-1 in what was the last ever appearance of the Lisbon Lions as a team, although Ronnie Simpson only took part in the warm-up. It could be billed as the last time because the previous day, Bertie Auld had been granted a free transfer and this would be his final appearance – 14 years to the day when he made his first appearance in a 1957 Charity Cup game against Rangers. The scorers in the Lions’ final curtain call were Bobby Lennox with a hat-trick, Willie Wallace with a brace and Stevie Chalmers.

What a game that must have been, they could have still done the business by the looks of it, I was just born that year in march but I went to all the games as soon as I was old enough, i knew who they were by the age of four or five, what a team and manager we had then, Hail Hail
