It has been an emotionally charged week for the players and focus around the club will be on weighty matters of history, of what we are all about. You can be sure, however, that Derek McInnes and his Aberdeen players have only one thing on their minds.
Aberdeen can win the Scottish Cup on Saturday. They need to play at their very best, and will need Celtic to perform as they did earlier in the competition against St Mirren, but 90 minutes passes quickly at Hampden, and you and I both know to take nothing for granted.
No one is going to drink in the celebrations of 1967 more than me, but we have won only two trebles since then. The current team deserve every inch of preparation possible. They are already one of the great Celtic teams, with an undefeated treble they can look the Lisbon Lions straight in the eye.
CQN presents Lisbon Lions and wives, Greenock Celtic Supporters’ Club, Friday 26 May 2017
The Lions were paraded on a coal lorry when they reached Celtic Park on 26 May 1967. We have a coal lorry, we have the Lions. This will be an incredible event. There’s also a live band.
Admission by ticket only, get yours here. They will be posted until tomorrow or collected at the door thereafter.

Got grandson new top today travelling in from Dunfermline. Gave it to him tonight. First time ever seen him take an item of clothing and put it on a hanger
” This is a special top Grandpa, ill look after it forever”
Hes staying over tonight so will watch BBC prog together and Ill tell him the stories of his Grandpa, Great Grandpa and Great Great grandpa and that trip to Lisbon in 67. My abiding memory is my dad and grandpa weaing suits shirt and tie with those silk celtic scarves neatly crossed.
Them oldies Celtic fans were better dressed than us!

As much as that :-)
The Griff story is on a click bait site, pyoor pish, but it’s final week.

Ajax v Man Utd…like trying to pick a favourite between Bundy or Dahmer.Is it possible both can lose?!
Can anyone do me a great service and link me to BRTH’s post describing his conversation with Portuguese man regarding his memories of 25 May 1967?
TET…
I know the story’s shinola but I had a wee peek at some Leeds fans comments.About 90% of them are totally dismissive of Leigh and reckon he’d only be ok as back up to the guy Wood they have just now.Hubris,it’s not just a hun thing.
HH
From various posts it looks like the hurting huns are in desperation by bringing up the dead team’s cup winners cup in the week of our celebrations.
For purely football reasons I want Ajax to win.

Their fans alone are reason not to want them not to win.

Seriously shows what they know about football, The Griff would be in the top handful of brit strikers playing on the brit island, he does what it says on the tin, he scores goals, simples.

SOZ
As are the manure fans, it’s a lose lose for us.
HH
And if manure win the brits get another place in the CL reducing our chances if we qualify of a 3rd pot place, I think.
Big Jimmy
Careful big man, that were stunner from Australia is my niece , just texted her your comments she’s delighted you think she’s in her late20s,HH
Fifty years ago I was there so it’s great to see the love of Celtic continues HH
As a few have said the only good thing about the fitbaw tonight is one of them will lose.
On balance I hope it’s Mourinho, I still remember the cheating diving bassas in Seville.
Just typed that & Manure score.
Early night tonight. Late breakfast tomorrow then get train to Lisbon for sightseeing etc then out to Estadio Nacional and mingle with the pilgrims. I will be one of the silver haired and balding small scotsmen.
Oh dear, the worst player on the pitch with a massive deflection, jammy feckers
Scott Nisbetesque goal
Hope it’s payback time for Mourinho after his Seville antics. He gets lucky again with that goal.
Man U score. Booooooooo
Mourinho’s a phoney.All those clubs with their multi millions and not one memorable team from any season he’s managed.
Take away the check book and the likes of Mourinho would be fecked
Mourinho,the opulent version of Walters Myth.
EXILED TIM, reminds me of Walter Cardigan and the dead club
LG starts at £15 mil, IF he goes, you watch the no marks down there go for £20 mil+, Brendan said the days of clubs down south robbing us and making huge profit has gone, that money will be ours.
Hope the young lads run the legs off these cash bloated softies.
In the heat of Lisbon
HH
So Mourinhos tactics are hump the ball up to Fellaini,
It’s killing me watching this match, I’d really fancy Celtic against either of them.
Some great videos & pics coming through from Lisbon on Facebook.
Well done Celtic’s u17s, today, this week and this month.
One game, a chance to win your league that Scotland doesn’t talk about. I think it’s a goer. Anyone else?
Well thank the Good Lord that’s over.
What? Another 45 minutes?
Worst final ever… Ajax are dreadful..no idea what to do..manure are doing nothing except put ball u park!
Dreadful Europa league final. Fell asleep. The Mourinho affect
Almost cured my insomnia watching that.Another 45 mins and i’ll be Baba van Winkle.
Agree bhoys pish game, classic Mourinho, but watch how MU stop any crossballs into the box? He is a master defensive coach.
negative, spoiling football….thats Mourinho for you.
Chancer
Bada Bing,
doesnt help that Ajax are pish
100million for yer man. Disgusting.

No way will Griffiths go to Leeds. A mediocre English team with no prospects.
He loves it at Celtic and doesn’t need to go anywhere.
Ant credible journalist writing that story would know that £3m would only get his left peg!
