Jim Craig joined Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham to discuss the Lisbon Lions’ 50th anniversary celebrations in a year which also saw Celtic winning an invincible treble, a prestigious award from FIFA naming their fans as the best in the world, and even a BAFTA!
In this emotional interview, Jim reminisces about Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Neilly Mochan, Bertie Auld, Tommy Gemmell, Joe McBride and George Connelly.
He also discusses his latest book, his magnificent Lisbon Lion Diary: Right Back to ’67. This memoir is a real fly-on-the-wall recollection of events from 50 years ago, brought to life by Jim Craig’s intelligent and humorous brand of storytelling. Order HERE.

In that game , there were at least half a dozen fouls given for pulling back , all justified as fouls , why the difference in the motherwell box .
Craigan sick!

A soft penalty ,but a penalty for sure. Kipre shouldn’t have been on the park at that point, however.
90% of the after match chat focusing on how it changed the match. Surprise, surprise.
Once again all the talk is about a crap referee….
Daughter just showed me a post on PaddyRoberts Instigram, of Broonie celebrating in the changing rooms
If any of you have this, take a look
Brilliant Broonie :-)))))
Can someone post a link to Craigys save at 1-0 ?

TURKEYBHOY-we’ve had our digs at each through the year and moved on,I hope.?enjoy the champers fellow Celtic fan
It was a penalty. All day, every day. It seems different rules apply to us.
Corrupt Scotland.
But well done boys. We never had any danger of losing this. It’s pathetic. Every time we win they need to find a problem.

Well done Celtic and Brendan.
Our dominance of the game in this country is overwhelming, and I think some people are finding that very tough to take.
We would have won even without the penalty/red card, but the salient facts are:
* Sinclair was tugged on his arm inside the box. Clear penalty.
* Red card was harsh.
* But Kipre shouldn’t have been on the pitch after a disgraceful challenge on Moussa in the first half.
All else is noise.
GG- that’s what you call a save
It WAS a penalty. Red or yellow it made no difference to the outcome.
If anyone has a Huddleboard account, Bonfigli has a GIF of the Taxkle on Moussa.
It could have been a career ending assault.
I’ll try to find a link
King of Kings:))
Sutton and Larsson on now
never a penalty, ss went down like he was shot, dissapointed in him.
hate divers especially if they play for us.
thompson is n ot a cheat he is a bad ref.
Watching Henrik now.:))
Neil Lennon hypocritical about our penalty,was quite happy and claimed Derrick fouled his player for his penalty in the semi final.If Sinclair had been brought down outside the box it would not have been controversial.Any of the so called experts ask the purpose of his hand on Sinclair.
Whit aboot John divers ?? ;-)
5 trophies in a row for the famous Glasgow Celtic. (We did win the league under Ronny,yes?) another glass of the old red then bed.
Great to be a Tim, even if we are reckoned to be physco twats ;-)
Hail Hail
TOMHORTON-it was a pen the ref said so:-))

You hate Scott Sinclair then.
Enjoy your evening.

Tonight, I listened to Clyde for the LOL’s. I knew it would be hilarious, I knew there would be delusions and accusations and a whole lot of hurt. What I didn’t expect was a story, but there was one there nonetheless, and since nobody else is talking about it I thought that I might.
Do I believe it? Yes and no. It is brilliant, but almost too much so.
The caller in question was a Sevco fan, and he claimed that he attended Dundee where he got into a conversation – a long conversation – with Jim Traynor. He asked about the manager’s job, as everyone would have.
What he says the former newspaper sports editor and current unscripted comedian with a crap PR firm allegedly told him is amazing.
According to this guy, Traynor said that the managerial appointment is still weeks away. How many weeks? Around four to six. And whilst you are trying to process that ponder this; he says Traynor told him the first choice is still Derek McInnes, the guy who very publicly thumbed his nose at the job this very week.
And it is too good to be true, although Hugh Keevins was virtually wetting his pants over the idea that someone had shared the details of a private conversation with his former Lord and Master live on the radio.
“Jim will not appreciate that,” he said, with the faintest whimper in his voice, doubtless scared to death that the phone could start ringing any minute.
Imagine Sevco’s board had, for whatever reason, decided McInnes was the man but were holding off even making their moves for two whole months. And then imagine when they did, and McInnes turned them down, forcing them back to square one and in the meantime options which otherwise might have been available slip away one at a time?
Maybe it’s just as simple as Traynor being such a toe-rag that he’s willing to tell brazen lies to people who have paid their money to watch their team. Or maybe this is a ridiculous ploy, whilst they work on appointing some loser like Alex McLeish.
But tantalise yourself with this possibility; what if it’s true?
There’s a chance that it is, you know; there’s a chance that it might be.
There’s a sensible reason why it may very well be the case and to understand it you have to go back to last season when Pedro Caixinha was about to be appointed. He arrived shortly before the 1-1 draw at Celtic Park; there was no way he was going to be allowed to walk into that game and start his tenure at the club with a defeat.
In the event, Murty surprised people by snatching a late draw, but with that tie out of the way it gave Pedro a relatively easy run of games before the first real test, against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. That actually turned out to be the highlight of his time at the club; they won 3-0 as McInnes folded the hand as per usual. In between times, though, they dropped points against Motherwell and Kilmarnock. The writing was already on the wall.
Imagine they’d appointed someone this week, as many thought they would after Hamilton beat them. The guy would have faced two games against Aberdeen, one against Hibs, a match against Motherwell and one against Celtic before December ended. With the current squad and an obvious settling in period, the guy’s jacket might have been on a shoogly peg before his first month had even elapsed. Perhaps the board wants to avoid so rough a ride.
Of course, the fans might have forgiven a new boss, realising what he had to work with and giving him a brief honeymoon period … the board may well have overlooked that, understandably bearing in mind they are dealing with lunatics, but the risk of not appointing someone until the New Year has even more dangerous possibilities; the fans would, and quite reasonably, go absolutely bananas if the club failed to act for another month as bad results piled up.
Either way they are in soapy. Appoint someone now to take on this run and the guy might be out of friends before January. Let this matter fester until then and there might not be any prospect of even qualifying for Europe by the time we hear the Bells.
Just when you thought they couldn’t look more amateurish.

Cheers mate HH…What save from a Hun thats just going thru the motions ??????

If Sinclair was tugged like that on the halfway line it’s a free kick in the opponents 18 yard box it’s a penalty, simple. The fact of the matter Kipre should have been off 40 minutes earlier. So the so called game changer happened in the first half not at the penalty incident.
Invincibles!!!
Thinking…….Fir Park will be tasty on Wednesday!
FESS19-yet there legends on here;-))
Just back from Hampden. I was at the corner of North/East Stand, clear view of penalty incident. 100% a penalty, defender tugs Sinclair and he goes down. Not sure it was a sending off though.
The huns are hurting even worse after that!
Love, love, love lovin’ it!
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Billy, no a bad wee player himself. He has no a bad Celtic pedigree being related ate John and his da but also Peerless Patsy.
Also, his brother-in-law who lives oot the Vale is related tae the Kellys of Renton and Celtic FC fame.
