HISTORY
As far as Celtic shirts go this is extremely rare and sought after, as not only was it never released to the general public. But the shirt is also one of the most successful strips in the recent history of Glasgow Celtic
In it the hoops;
Progressed through the Champions League Qualifying Rounds - Beating Spartak Moscow on penalties at Parkhead
Remained un-beaten at Paradise through out the Champions
League Campaign - Beating AC Milan, Benfica and Shaktar at home to book the clubs place in the knock out rounds for the second consecutive year
Ultimately dragged up the Scottish co-efficient to an all time high - and undoubtedly did the 40th Anniversary of the Lisbon Lions justice... with the progress to the knock out stages a great finale in Europe - a great tribute for the commemorate season of the 1967 European Cup win.
