    I hope we have something big planned for the trophy day for the Lions. Big Billy and the bhoys deserve to receive every bit of adulation from the fans. 67th minute of every game this season has been a great sight and both times against City gave me goosebumps. And to the Lions we have lost and Jock and Sean Fallon will always be remembered as the greatest men to ever pulled on the hoops.

    Tough to see King Billy really deteriorate as time goes in but I hope deep down he knows what he means to literally millions of people, even if it doesn’t seem it to his loved ones.

    The guy forever will be a giant amongst men.

    Not nice to see him like that but a lovely photo in it's own right with him and his wife.

    The man epitomizes everything this club is about. The legend of all legends.

    What a moment, I love how he doesn't look one bit surprised, that team knew they were something special. Can only imagine what it must feel like to be aware when you're making history. Very few humans have ever achieved it with such a positive spirit.

    Imagine the feeling walking around Lisbon, on a day like that, in the hoops with the CL trophy in your hands.

    I’d be off back to the hotel to get changed and then out in the pubs to celebrate with the fans :ynwacelti

    Every Celtic fan should own his autobiography.The Official History dvd from 2008 is also worth getting for McNeill and Auld's reminiscences alone.
