The small Celtic support at Pittodrie did Stevie proud and The Celtic support will be out in force at Paradise tomorrow to say goodbye and thank you to Stevie Chalmers, the Lisbon Lion whose goal won us the greatest prize – The Celtic Star. Thank you Stevie.

“You cannot forget that goal, it’s as simple as that. That’s what makes them good forwards, and that’s what made Stevie such a special player.” John Clark (2019)

The Chalmers family have made it known the they would be delighted if those attending the funeral wear something green, in celebration of Stevie’s connection to Celtic.
