PSG in Paris early 90s
out sung the psg ultras at the game and after it they stayed and stared in disbelief we'd lost the game but out sung them atmosphere was buzzing
Mark hughes testimonial was bouncing at old trafford
but this for me was a great atmosphere

Great thread, great memories all. Having yet to attend a Celtic match, I have none to offer -- the closest I can come to "atmosphere" watching Celtic is my neighbour thinking I was being murdered and calling the police after Olivier Ntcham scored against Nazio in Rome . . .

Great vid, vs Real Madrid hadn’t seen that in years, one interesting observation......the advertising hoarding at the Celtic end at the corner with the jungle.....Murray International Metals....was he putting money into our coffers before he bought the huns? By feck we sure dodged a bullet there

Was in the schoolboys enclosure that day 14 years old big Billy does the business,start of it all, that many memories could yabber on all about it all night apart from Lisbon this auld codger ,one of my best memories has got to be semifinal of European Cup against Leeds 1970 2-1 what a game and atmosphere over 134 thousand that night at Hampden think it was record attendance think Leeds were going for a treble themselves fa cup Chelsea, beat in a reply at Old Trafford (watch that match on you tube bloodbath some game as well ,they were the days all blood and thunder no prisoners taken was on bbc live a reply midweek Arsenal won the league that year Leeds runners up and the big yin European Cup
Back to the game I was in the middle of the Celtic end that night lost my shirt one shoe freezing cold night, who cares we were going to Milan
At the time there was a English sports reporter name Desmond Hackett before the 1st leg he said he would eat his hat (Trilby) that was his trademark! was that confident of the Leeds doing the Tic, they had some great players then to name a few Bremner, Lorimer,Glasgow Bhoy Eddie Gray,Jack Charlton, Norman(bites your legs )Hunter, Terry Cooper, Absolutely roasted by wee Jinky ,England’s number 1
Left back at the time admitted he was completely shattered by the greatest ever player of our club , ran him ragged and said when he retired just couldn’t handle Jinky oh

I can relate to everything you say Chubbstar51. I was directly behind the goal when Billy rose above everyone to score that winning goal. As for the Leeds semi, well, a memory to cherish without doubt. I also clearly remember Desmond Hackett too. Back in the day, the word "hackett" was something of a euphemism when describing another person who was maybe what we might say was a tad unattractive . Glasgow being the cultural centre of the universe, the word Hackett was replaced with Desmond. If a guy or girl wasn't exactly pleasing on the eye as far as the looks department went, he or she was considered to be "Desmond" Sorry, that's what happens when we don't have a new manager tae talk about. Ah'll away and talk to the missus.

I’ve just read through all the comments there and realised how lucky you all were to get to all those games and the great memories you have. As many of you know my husband Pat was at all the games and stood in the Jungle. He would come and meet me at George Square 
on a Saturday night with his scarf still round his neck and often the worse of wear. My regret is that I didn’t get to the matches with him but in those days late 60’s and early 70’s women didn’t go much and especially no to the jungle. I’m sure many of you older ones paths would have crossed with his.
Anyway in the late 70’s I managed to get to a game with him it was Celtic v Kilmarnock on a very very cold day and where we sat that day was on a bench with the wind howling through the place. I was chittering but managed to stay till the end and to be honest I can’t remember the score.
I was supposed to go to the St Mirren game on 7 March last year (our last game of the season) due to the Coronavirus outbreak just arriving here and with a severe lung condition I thought I better not take the chance. We won 5-0 I think it was and my brother phoned me later to say it was a great game.
so the best atmosphere for me was watching the 1967 European Cup at home with my mum and dad and three brothers I was aged 17. It was a grey picture but that didn’t matter we were glued and must say it was quiet when inter got their penalty, but euphoria once we equalised and then it was nail biting edge of our seats till Celtic scored the winning goal. A day and atmosphere that I will never forget. We danced in the streets that night and we were all joyous (and just to add no a fight in sight) it was a real celebration. My brothers all went to Celtic Park for the Cup coming to Glasgow we were all so proud.
Just for those who don’t know Pat (my husband) died of young persons Alzheimer’s at the age of 61 in 2011 but we have a brick with his name on it in the North Stand. And we have a paving stone there as well.
after Covid restrictions my bucket list trip to Celtic park with my granddaughter will be arranged as soon as it’s safe to do. HH

The 4 v 2 game, 42 yrs ago today.
Best atmosphere bar none, when wee Murdo missed the Celtic end and hit the net to win the league with 10 men the joy in the front of the jungle was unbelievable, even the TV guys going on strike couldn't remove the smiles from our faces.

Rangers 2 Celtic 4. Dundee United won the league that day but what a comeback that was. We were in the enclosure and all got split up due to the bedlam of those 4 second half goals.
Celtic 5 Sporting Lisbon 0. I will remember the mayhem of Tom McAdams goal just before half time, to go 3 up, forever.
And Seville. The whole day of the game and watching Celtic take the field in a European final. Boyhood dream come true... almost.

Henrik was brilliant that game.....Best af ever seen him......Even off the baw he was pushin at the players....sheer class
So true, he was world class and gave us his best years. Was really glad for him that he won the CL with Barcelona, a game he turned when he came on as a sub.
I was lucky enough to be at the game in Seville, it was an incredible day to be a Celtic supporter made you proud but I have never watched the match again even though I have it on dvd. Just can't bring myself to, it was tough to get that close and not win. Even though Porto were probably the best team in Europe at that time.

I have to say everywhere I travelled to watch my beloved Glasgow Celtic I felt the atmosphere. ..loved being in Seville and experiencing what my Dad did in Milan in 70 and his Dad in Lisbon 67 .....3 European finals in one lifetime for me and for many others on the noise I am sure ...But i have to say I felt the same when I travelled anywhere the atmosphere was always in my head. ..of course there are special memories and so many have been called out on this thread . ..I am just so delighted that I attended most ...the beauty is we all know there is more to come ....great thread STG.
