The 60th Anniversary of the Lisbon Lions is coming up at the end of next season and it appears that Celtic have a special commemorative celebration lined up.
The 1967 European Cup win is an iconic day in Celtic’s illustrious history and it immortalised the legendary Lisbon Lions and Jock Stein.
Goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers sealed the win as Celtic taught Italian giants, and favourites for the final, Inter Milan a serious footballing lesson in the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon.
And to remember and celebrate that day, Celtic appear to have a special commemorative crest lined up for season 2026/27.
Footy Headlines reveals ‘special crest’ Celtic have designed to celebrate 60th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions
The Lisbon Lions will forever be remembered by every generation of Celtic supporters from now until eternity.
And Footy Headlines have revealed what the club have planned to mark this iconic day in Celtic’s history.
Taking to X, Footy Headlines posted:
And on their website, they describe the crest as, “The special Celtic 26-27 crest is an ornate and classic design, fitting for such a momentous occasion.
“In a wonderful touch that pays tribute to the location of the final, the text around the crest reads ’60° ANIVERSÁRIO’ – which is Portuguese for ’60th Anniversary’.”
Inter Milan vs Celtic 1967 European Cup win
A date etched in history, the 1967 European Cup win will never be matched by another club in the history of the competition again.
For one, no other Scottish team will ever win the competition that has now been repackaged and diluted as the Champions League.
Finances dictate that smaller nations will now never be on a level playing field with the top five leagues in Europe.
Secondly, Celtic won the trophy with a team full of Scots. A line-up of Simpson, Craig, McNeill, Clarke, Gemmell, Murdoch, Auld, Johnstone, Chalmers, Wallace and Lennox were all born in and around Glasgow.
A feat never to be matched again, Celtic’s Lisbon Lions will always be regarded as legends and immortal by fans all around the world.
