Over the course of this season, Celtic scored a world record 196 goals in the major competitions they took part in.World Record and Statistics http://xtrahistory.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/Record-Statistics.html World Football Historic Center 17 June 2014 The team from this season are commonly known as the Lisbon Lions, because the European Cup final was held in Lisbon. Season overview Season 1966–67 is considered Celtic's annus mirabilis. The club won every competition they entered: the Scottish League, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, the Glasgow Cup, and the European Cup; scoring a world record total of 196 goals in the process. The League Cup was the first trophy to be won that season, courtesy of a 1–0 win on 29 October 1966 over Rangers in the final.Celtic fight in final http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/AlI2v8uzdNzMWiAJCrOPTA118142 20 January 2014 The Times 31 October 1966 https://web.archive.org/web/20181003015905/http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/AlI2v8uzdNzMWiAJCrOPTA118142 3 October 2018 dead The Glasgow Cup was secured a week later when Celtic beat Partick Thistle 4–0; Stevie Chalmers opening the scoring, and Bobby Lennox scoring a hat-trick.Edwards Glyn Thistle no match for Celtic in Glasgow Cup Final https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3dw9AAAAIBAJ&pg=1656%2C1217839 20 January 2014 The Glasgow Herald 8 November 1966 6 Celtic's progression to the Scottish Cup was relatively straightforward aside from being taken to replay in the semi-final by Clyde.Wilson 1988 134 On 29 April 1967 Celtic met Aberdeen in the final, and two Willie Wallace goals eased Celtic to a 2–0 win. The league campaign proved to be a more tightly contested affair as, despite Celtic only losing twice, with two games remaining Rangers were still in contention. Celtic's penultimate league fixture was against Rangers at Ibrox, with a draw required to clinch the title. A brace by Jimmy Johnstone gave Celtic a 2–2 draw and the championship. Celtic's European Cup campaign in 1966–67 was their first ever participation in Europe's premier club tournament. FC Zürich and Nantes were comfortably disposed of in the first two rounds (5–0 and 6–2 on aggregate respectively).Season 1966-67 http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro.html European Cup History 11 December 2016August 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes The quarter final in March 1967 pitched Celtic against the Yugoslav champions, Vojvodina. The Yugoslav side won the first leg in Novi Sad 1–0. The return match in Glasgow proved to be a fraught affair. The Yugoslavs defended resolutely and threatened on the counter-attack, but Celtic levelled the tie on aggregate in the second half with a goal by Stevie Chalmers.Campbell Woods 1987 235 Celtic pressed for a winner, but Vojvodina defended well and the tie looked like a play-off in neutral Rotterdam would be required. However, in the final minute Billy McNeill headed in a Charlie Gallacher cross to see Celtic progress to the semi-final. Celtic now faced Czechoslovak side Dukla Prague. This time the first leg of the tie took place in Glasgow, with Celtic winning 3–1 courtesy of goals from Jimmy Johnstone and a Willie Wallace brace.Wilson 1988 136 In respect of his opponents' quality, manager Jock Stein set up Celtic to be ultra-defensive for the second leg and forsake - temporarily - their philosophy of attacking football.Wilson 1988 136–137 The tactics worked as Celtic secured a 0–0 draw to put them in the final. However, Stein was almost apologetic about the manner of Celtic's success in that game and he felt uncomfortable in later years discussing the matter.Wilson 1988 137Campbell Woods 1987 236right Simpson Craig McNeill(C) Clark Gemmell Auld Murdoch Johnstone Chalmers Wallace Lennox 1967 European Cup Final line-up(The Lisbon Lions) The final saw Celtic play Inter Milan, with the match taking place at the Estádio Nacional on the outskirts of Lisbon on 25 May 1967. Celtic fell a goal behind after only seven minutes, Jim Craig adjudged to have fouled Renato Cappellini in the penalty box and Sandro Mazzola converting the resultant penalty.Barham Albert Relentless attack captures European Cup https://www.theguardian.com/football/1967/may/25/championsleague.sport 27 June 2014 The Guardian 26 May 1967 Celtic swept into constant attack after that but found Inter goalkeeper Giuliano Sarti in outstanding form. With 63 minutes played, after incessant pressure, Celtic finally equalised when Tommy Gemmell scored with a powerful 25-yard shot. The balance of play remained the same with Inter defending deeply against sustained Celtic attacking. With about five minutes remaining, a long-range shot from Bobby Murdoch was diverted by Stevie Chalmers past a wrong-footed Sarti.Forsyth Roddy Murdoch the true Lionheart https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/scottish-premier/3005452/Murdoch-the-true-Lionheart.html The Telegraph 27 June 2014 15 May 2001 It proved to be the winning goal and thus Celtic became the first British team, and the first from outside Spain, Portugal or Italy to win the competition. Jock Stein commented after the match, Winning was important, but it was the way that we won that has filled me with satisfaction. We did it by playing football; pure, beautiful, inventive football. There was not a negative thought in our heads.25 May - 1967: Celtic win European Cup https://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/25/newsid_5071000/5071020.stm BBC On This Day 22 October 2013 25 May 1967 Celtic are one of only two clubs to have won the trophy with a team composed entirely of players from the club's home country; all of the players in the side were born within 30 miles of Celtic Park in Glasgow, and they subsequently became known as the 'Lisbon Lions'.https://archive.org/details/nowyouknowsoccer0000lenn registration now you know soccer who were the lisbon lions. 143 Now You Know Soccer Doug Lennox Dundurn Press 978-1-55488-416-2 2009 The entire east stand at Celtic Park is dedicated to The Lisbon Lions,Jim Reynolds http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/fans-will-now-roar-from-the-lisbon-lions-stand-1.251751 Fans will now roar from the Lisbon Lions Stand Herald Scotland 28 January 2000 5 August 2013 and the west stand to Jock Stein.Simon Buckland https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-leonhardsen-too-smart-for-celtic-1170680.html https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-leonhardsen-too-smart-for-celtic-1170680.html 1 May 2022 subscription live Leonhardsen too smart for Celtic The Independent 9 August 1998 5 August 2013 The sight of captain Billy McNeill holding aloft the European Cup in the Estádio Nacional has become one of the iconic images of Scottish football, immortalized in a bronze statue of McNeill outside Parkhead stadium in 2015, created by John McKenna (sculptor).The 50 Greatest Scottish Footballers - Billy McNeill http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/the-50-greatest-scottish-footballers-day-5-x.20578473 Herald Online 11 March 2014 22 March 2013Burns Scott Time to build a statue for Hoops legend McNeill http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/443095/Time-to-build-a-statue-for-Hoops-legend-McNeill Scottish Express 11 March 2014 14 November 2013https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/24/celtic-lisbon-lions-50-greatest-success-story-scottish-sport The Lisbon Lions 50 years later: still the greatest story ever told in Scottish sport 24 May 2017 The Guardian 25 May 2017 Two weeks later, on 7 June 1967, Celtic played Real Madrid in a testimonial match for the now retired Alfredo Di Stefano. In front of over 100,000 fans at the Bernabéu Stadium, the sides engaged in a keenly fought contest which saw Bertie Auld and Real Madrid's Amancio sent off. Di Stefano played for the first 15 minutes, but it was Jimmy Johnstone who stole the show with an exhilarating performance that had even the Spanish supporters chanting "Olé!" throughout the game in appreciation of his skill. Johnstone capped an outstanding performance by playing the pass to Bobby Lennox for the only goal in a 1–0 win for Celtic.McMillan Anna The Alfredo Di Stefano Trophy The Celtic View 16 November 2005The Full Story: 1967, Alfredo Di Stéfano's Testimonial http://programmes.stv.tv/the-football-years/series-1/1967/227825-the-full-story-alfredo-di-stfanos-testimonial-1967/ STV The Football Years 22 October 2013 12 February 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131022015651/http://programmes.stv.tv/the-football-years/series-1/1967/227825-the-full-story-alfredo-di-stfanos-testimonial-1967/ 22 October 2013967-06-07: Real Madrid 0-1 Celtic, Testimonial - Alfredo Di Stefano http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/1967-06-07%3A+Real+Madrid+0-1+Celtic,+Testimonial+-+Alfredo+Di+Stefano The Celtic Wiki 22 October 2013 11 November 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201111232954/http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/1967-06-07%3A+Real+Madrid+0-1+Celtic,+Testimonial+-+Alfredo+Di+Stefano dead Competition overview 4 Division One 10 September 1966 15 May 1967 Round 1 Winners 26 6 2 111 33 League Cup 13 August 1966 29 October 1966 Group Stage Winners 10 0 0 35 7 Scottish Cup 28 January 1967 29 April 1967 First round Winners 5 1 0 20 3 European Cup 28 September 1966 25 May 1967 First round Winners 7 1 1 18 5 Glasgow Cup 23 August 1966 7 November 1966 First round Winners 3 0 0 12 0 Results and fixtures Friendlies 6 August 1966 Friendly 4–1 "Hurricane Celts' glorious start" Celtic Lennox 7 Murdoch 10 McBride 15 Foulkes o.g.61 Manchester United Sadler 12 Celtic Park 60,000 W.
