THE renowned France Football magazine, organisers of the prestigious Ballon D’Or Award, has selected Celtic’s 1967 European Cup-winning Hoops shirt as one of the most iconic in the history of world football.

In their list of the 50 greatest football shirts in history, Celtic’s ’67 top is in 12th position – the highest of any British team or country, and the only Scottish shirt included in the list.

Jock Stein’s Celtic side became the first British side to win the European Cup when they defeated Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon’s Estadio Nacional, thanks to goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers.
