1967: Celtic win European Cup
Celtic has become the first British team to win the European Cup, beating favourites Internazionale Milan 2-1.
An estimated crowd of 70,000 crammed into the Portuguese National Stadium in Lisbon to witness the Glasgow side lift the greatest prize in club football.
Milan have been champions of Europe three times in the past four years and this was only their second defeat in continental competition in that time.
As the final whistle blew, euphoric Celtic fans poured onto the pitch to celebrate their team's victory, many whooping with joy and waving banners.
