About this book

THE WHISTLE BLOWS and the tension is unbearable. Inter Milan have dominated the first half, and Celtic trail 1 – 0. Tommy Gemmell drives forward … he shoots … goal! Equaliser! The crowd erupts at the Estádio Nacional. Stevie Chalmers takes control, finds space … he scores! It’s in! Celtic lead, and history is being written before our eyes. The final whistle blows, and Jock Stein’s men have done it — the European Cup is coming home to Glasgow! Lisbon belongs to the Bhoys!

Follow the story of Celtic FC through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to the club’s earliest European adventures. This edition charts Celtic’s continental history — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The historic European Cup triumph in 1967, with Jock Stein’s team defeating Inter Milan in Lisbon
– The 1970 European Cup final, where Celtic narrowly lost to Feyenoord after extra time
– The 2003 UEFA Cup final run, including Henrik Larsson’s brace in the 3 – 2 defeat to FC Porto
– Memorable group stage and knockout matches across Europe, including famous victories over Barcelona and other top clubs
– Highlights from other notable European campaigns across the decades

The Football History of Celtic in Europe Book FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Who would this football book make a great gift for?

Our football history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of football. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual football teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
