There seems to be something special in the Lisbon air today as swathes of green and white hooped fans bewitch the good people of Lisbon with their laughs, and smiles, and their songs.
Celtic can qualify tonight if they win and Manchester United dont get beaten and for some reason Celtic fans feel it it written in the stars that they can qualify in this most special of cities.The party has started and bhoy how the people of Lisbon are enjoying it.
Benfica fans have even forgiven the Celts for wearing the green and white hoops which are also worn by their bitter rivals Sporting Lisbon and are content that the hoops have always belonged to Glasgow Celtic and that Sporting are the poor relations.
Qualifying early would surely start off the party to end all parties and just like back in 1967 we may Lose a few of the troops to this wonderful city.
There does seem to be a lot of 39 year old re heads around for some reason.
