ON THE ROAD – EPISODE 2 of ‘On The Road’ sees Andy Lynch discussing his Celtic career with author Paul John Dykes.
Having signed for Jock Stein’s side for £35,000 in 1973, Andy won the Scottish Cup two years later. With solid displays (and free of injury), Andy soon established himself as Celtic’s first-choice left-back.
Andy explains how, in 1977, he won another Scottish Cup when he famously scored the winning goal against Rangers from the penalty spot. This Old Firm triumph completed a memorable League and Scottish Cup double, but it was to be Jock Stein’s swansong as Celtic’s orchestrator of success.
Billy McNeill’s first season as Celtic’s manager in 1978/79 culminated in him leading his ten men to a winner-takes-all victory over Rangers in a match that is now known simply as ‘The 4-2 Game’.
Andy Lynch’s biography – Hoops, Stars & Stripes – is the insightful life story of a former Celtic captain, who overcame adversity to play for the team of his dreams.
Enjoy this fascinating interview with the former Celtic captain below and we have also included a link to last week’s video in this 3 part series. The final episode will be published next Friday.
Andy will be coming onto CQN to do a Q&A over the next few weeks, more details will be posted when available. There’s also a great 4 page feature on Andy in this week’s edition of The Celtic View.
