Billy McNeill once said there was a 'fairytale' nature to Celtic Football Club, today those words from our greatest ever captain have never been so apt or poignant.
On the day we came together to honour Billy and mourn his passing we were given a moment that captured the very essence of what Billy meant when he uttered those words......amazingly in the 67th minute the man who now wears Billy's number 5 jersey rose higher than the rest to bullet a powerful header beyond Kilmarnock's keeper and into the back of the net......it was a goal reminiscent of Billy himself and such a perfect moment that it was like Billy had scripted it personally just to prove his point that Celtic Football Club does have this 'fairytale' nature to it just like he said.
I've witnessed some amazing moments, some beautiful moments watching Celtic over the years but I don't think I've ever witnessed one so perfect than the one we saw today, it really was something special.
Special mention for big Jozo, not only for that glorious moment in the 67th minute but for his beautiful gesture when he gifted his jersey to Billy's family after the match. It was a class act and I'm sure it meant a lot to Billy's family. The big man was quite emotional during his post-match interview and understood the magnitude of Billy's passing and what that goal meant, not just to us but what it meant to the McNeill family. Really impressed with the big man's performance both on and off the field today
Hail Hail Cesar!
