@1tsgkpdhd European cup in 1967 they beat a team from Serbia, a team from Switzerland, a team from Czech Republic, Nantes and Inter Milan, one good team. When Rangers won the cup winners cup we beat far better teams. Jim Torbett - Celtic legend.

@1tsgkpdhd record* is terrible and a shit performance against Boavista. Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon and Fiorentina are better than Celta Vigo. Boavista and Blackburn. Manchester made millions that day and they couldn't even switch on a TV. Nah, not many Celtic fans were arrested in Seville because they can only hit women, children and animals. And even uneducated Celtic fans know the Spanish police don't piss about. You really can;t talk about the teams we played, when Celtic won the...

@1tsgkpdhd If 6 Celtic fans were arrested for assaulting women and a Celtic fan was stabbed by a fellow fan should you have been given a fair play award? obviously not. What did Rangers do, smash a few bus shelters and defend themselves from the police. "Becuase we took a team, that the next season would win the champions league," I know you are a Celtic fan but learn how structure a sentence because that doesn't make sense. You beat Celta Vigo on away goals, Graeme Souness's manager reckord...

@GlasgowRangersFC1872 Is that why in 2003 Celtic got the Fifa fairplay award for the conduct of there supporters. Know why we didn't riot? Becuase we took a team, that the next season would win the champions league, all the way in a cup run drenched in glory. Wins at Anfield, Ewwod Park. Knocking out Stuttgart, Celta Vigo, Blackburn and Liverpool. What did your team do? Play shitey anti-football and 0-0 draw your way to a final were you finally met a good team and got pumped.

230,000 Rangers fans went to Manchester and 39 were arrested. 8,000 Celtic fans went down to Blackburn for the UEFA cup 2nd round in 2002 and 26 were arrested. On the flight home from Seville the pilot had to make an emergency landing in Cardiff because female flight attendants were attacked by 6 male Celtic fans. 20,000 Celtic fans went to australia for a friendly and 11 fans were arrested. You can not sing songs about the IRA and then complain about shop windows getting smashed.
