    Clutching the European Cup, McNeill has made his way back to the changing room, where members of the press corps have forced their way in. Liverpool manager Bill Shankly has told Jock Stein, "John, you're immortal now." As the celebrations continue, Stein passes the trophy on without taking a sip of the champagne that fills it.

    The police have ushered the Celtic captain Billy McNeill out of the stadium and around the perimeter to get him to the point where he can be presented with the enormous trophy. The rest of the players are in the changing room - they're not going to witness the trophy presentation!

    FT Inter Milan 1-2 Celtic

    There are so many fans on the pitch that the players are unable to do a lap of honour. It's mayhem out there. Jock Stein is desperately trying to urge the fans to clear the pitch so the trophy can be handed to the new champions of Europe - but the masses are having none of it.

  11. Inter had no answer to Celtic vervepublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 25 May 2017

    FT Inter Milan 1-2 Celtic

    Inter were a spent force towards the end of the game. They had no answer to Celtic's all-out assault on their goal. It's a victory for attacking football over containment, many will argue.

  12. The dash for the falserspublished at 19:21 British Summer Time 25 May 2017

    FT Inter Milan 1-2 Celtic

    Jock Stein runs on to the pitch to embrace Billy McNeill and Ronnie Simpson before being enveloped by the deliriously happy Celtic fans.

    When Stevie Chalmers scored Celtic's second, the supporters began to push down towards the edge of the dry moat that surrounds the pitch. And they were unable to contain their delight when the final whistle went, running on to grab sods of turf and hug their heroes. Amidst the mayhem Bobby Lennox has made a beeline to Simpson's goal to recover his false teeth!

  13. A first for British footballpublished at 19:21 British Summer Time 25 May 2017

    FT Inter Milan 1-2 Celtic

    What an achievement by the men from Glasgow! Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Rangers, Dundee and Hibs have all fallen at the last-four stage of this grand tournament. Celtic went one better in reaching the final and have elevated their status further with this thrilling, deserved win. We can only imagine the scenes of celebration in Scotland, Ireland, England, indeed the world over.

    One last blast from Tommy Gemmell, surely man of the match - although it's hard to pick from so many impressive performances, with his shot from long range whistling over the crossbar.

    Bertie Auld is hacked down as he makes his way into Inter territory. He's staying down for a well earned rest, with the party in the stands in full swing.

    Stevie Chalmers

    Pandemonium!

    Tommy Gemmell makes his way forward down the left for the umpteenth time and is given time and space to pick out Bobby Murdoch 20 yards out. The classy right half fires in a raking shot and there is Stevie Chalmers with the slightest of touches on the edge of the six yard box to make sure it finds the net.

    No more than Celtic have deserved. They are almost there now.

    It does your heart good to see a British team place so much emphasis on attack and so superior to a team that has almost been a myth in its own time
