The book am going to blog about is called Celtic in Europe by Graham Mcoll. The book tells you about every european game celtic has competed in. One of the most popular years is 1966 when celtic won the european cup in Lisbon. Celtic beaat Inter Milan 2-1. Celtic went down 1-0 in the first five minutes with a penalty from Mazzola. Celtic were quick to reply whem Gemmel scored a header on the 25th minute. Celtic then sealed the gsme when Chamblers scored a great finish on the 79th minute and ended the game 2-1.My opinion on the book is that the book gives you good information on celtic in europe
