Product Description
In Celtic in Europe, the dramas of Celtic's European exploits over the past four decades are captured in all their glory. The excitement of the club's initial steps in European competition during the early 1960s is recounted in absorbing detail, as is the development of the team under the management of Jock Stein, who propelled Celtic to a position among the aristocracy of Europe's football clubs during the late 1960s and the '70s. The story concludes by recounting how Celtic renewed their reputation as a major presence in Europe during the early twenty-first century, with the club reaching the Champions League for the first time, making a superbly successful run up to the 2003 UEFA Cup final in Seville, and progressing in the same competition once again in 2004. Celtic in Europe will revive memories of Celtic's great European nights and of stirring jousts with clubs such as Real Madrid, Internazionale, Benfica, AC Milan, Valencia, Ajax Amsterdam, St Etienne, Porto, Liverpool, Juventus and Barcelona. Controversial matches, such as those with Atletico Madrid, Rapid Vienna and Neuchatel Xamax, are also scrutinised.
Interviews with a host of players and managers illuminate this superb analysis of Celtic in European competition, one of the most fascinating and romantic tales in football.
