Photo Of The Day: Celtic Fans Versus Benfica

Today’s photo of the day is a random rewind to a special time when Celtic defeated Benfica 3-0 at Paradise in the Champions League.

The match took place in 2006, a time when Celtic were almost unbeatable at home in Europe, no matter the opposition.

Goals from Kenny Miller (2) of all people and Stephen Pearson sealed the victory in the second half.

The atmosphere was top drawer, with You’ll Never Walk Alone being sung over the top of the Champions League music. That scene is our chosen image for this feature.

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.
