Through seeing Celtic's new kit I realized it's 50 years since Celtic were the first British team to lift the European cup in Lisbon 1967. Surely few other cup wins are as renowned, with so many tributes and of course "John, you're immortal now". I'm not sure why that quote is so famous but it adds something.
Celtic obviously played a part in my upbringing as Henrik Larsson kept banging them in, and even past his peak he could go on to Barca and United and perform. The gap has widened quickly.
But since we now have this little anniversary, I'd like to ask the Scottish contingent to write something down regarding this, it'd be an interesting read for a fair weather Premier League fan like myself. Basically, why has no other Scottish team won it in those 50 years, and why has the decline seemingly accelerated over the past decade or so?
I'll shamelessly add tags because not even you lot check this section regularly.
