Tributes paid to 'legendary' Celtic fan who drove from Glasgow to Lisbon for 1967 cup final

A Celtic fan who drove a Hillman Imp from Scotland to Lisbon ahead of their historic European Cup final in 1967 has died aged 81.

Jim McGuire led around 100 vehicles taking Hoops supporters on the 4,000 mile journey to Portugal for the clash with Inter Milan.

In 2017, he was part of a film called The Lions Road which told the story of two Celtic fans, Barry Sweeney and Martin Coyle, recreating the famous journey to mark the 50th anniversary of the game on May 25.
