Description

The 25th of May, 1967, is a date ingrained into the DNA of every Celtic supporter. Their club will always be the first British winners of the European Cup, having beaten Inter Milan in the final with a late Stevie Chalmers goal, on a balmy Lisbon night—but for some, grainy YouTube clips and faded news cuttings of that glorious 1960s evening are their main insight into the club's finest day. Launched ahead of the 50th anniversary of the triumph, Remembering 67 brings to life the legend and tells the full story of what is undoubtedly Celtic's greatest-ever soccer achievement—and one which may never be bettered. The momentous European campaign is replayed from that thumping 5-0 first-round aggregate win over Zurich. Set against the backdrop of global and news events that made headlines at home and abroad and the club's domestic achievements, which included pipping Rangers to the Scottish title, Remembering 67 gives Celtic supporters the opportunity to relive their greatest season, and one in which their club ruled Europe.
