Today’s photo of the day feature returns with an image of Celtic icon Billy McNeill posing with the league and Scottish Cup trophies, having guided the Hoops to a historic double in the club’s centenary year.
Trophies weren’t as easy to come by in the 1980s, with Aberdeen, Dundee United, Rangers, and Hearts all competing for titles. Therefore, a double – Celtic’s first for 11 years – was a much more notable achievement than in modern times.
How fitting that the man at the helm was one of the club’s greatest ever figures, at such a landmark time in our history.
