Atletico Madrid will wear a special shirt in tribute to their 1973/74 meeting with Celtic. The teams met in the European Cup Semi Final, with the Spaniards winning 2-0 on aggregate.
The game was marred in controversy due to Atletico’s tactics of booting Jimmy Johnstone wherever they could in the 0-0 first leg meeting. Fortunately, justify prevailed and Bayern Munich dumped them out in the Final.
Celtic host the La Liga side in what is a must win game for Rodgers’ team. After their dismantling of Hearts 4-1 at Tynecastle, the domestic form has been good and there will be hopes that this will translate into continental success.
Hopefully Celtic can spoil their commemoration of 1973/74 season.
