Photo Of The Day: A Sea Of Green And White Envelops Estadio Olimpico

Today’s photo of the day is one to ease fans through the international break by celebrating all that is good about Celtic Football Club.

The featured image is instantly recognisable, showing thousands of Celtic supporters wearing green and white hoops inside the Estadio Olimpico in Seville. Needless to say the occasion was the UEFA Cup Final, which ended in heartache, but Spain will never forget the vista of 80,000 fervent Celtic fans descending on the Andalusian city.

What a sight!

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.

  1. Just to be there was a privilige and an honour. One of the greatest days of my football life and so proud of what it meant to be a Celtic fan that day. Cost me a fortune but memories will never fade.

  2. I totally agree with you Neil being in Seville with 80 000 other celts was amazing. I was a baby at time of lisbon and 4 when we got to Milan in 70 but to watch Celtic in a European final was something that i never thought I would see. The love and pride we have for our team will stand the test of time. HH
