Atletico Madrid’s decision to celebrate the notorious shame game by wearing a special strip at Celtic Park on Wednesday has been branded incendiary.
Celtic fans were urged not to travel for the second leg in Spain and there were death threats issued to Jimmy Johnstone and manager Jock Stein. The Spaniards won the second leg 2-0, with Rodriguez scoring the second goal on the night, although they were eventually thrashed 4-0 in the final by Bayern Munich after a replay.
“I don’t think there will ever be a game like that again. It’s certainly in bad taste to wear that strip and it’s a bit degrading and maybe they are trying to get at Celtic a bit, it’s inflammatory. “It’s the club which will be offended and the people still at Celtic and the supporters who were there back then, there’s not a lot of us left but we remember well what happened.” headtopics.com
The club’s president, Enrique Cerezo, said: “This Wednesday we meet again with a historic club in a mythical stadium, Celtic Park, where we will have the honour of reliving a duel that half a century later continues to remain in the memory of all Atletico players.
