As CQN reported this morning, following over 100,000 votes, both clubs were deadlocked 50/50 with Jock Stein’s Lisbon Lions sharing top spot with Pep Guardiola’s treble- winning 2008/09 outfit.

With football fans everywhere to again join in the ballot, the Hoops received 54 per cent of the votes as opposed to the Spanish outfit’s 46.
