Lisbon Lions evoked

ANGE Postecoglo­u was quick to reference Celtic’s 1967 European Cup triumph when asked whether Rangers had shown the way for Scottish clubs in Europe this season.

Celtic exited three European tournament­s this season but Hoops manager Postecoglo­u dismissed suggestion­s that Rangers had blazed a trail for Scottish football.

Postecoglo­u said: “Scottish clubs, including this one, have made their mark in Europe before. I don’t think we have learned anything new.

“Rangers have done very well and Giovanni has done a great job in getting them to the semi-finals. They have an opportunit­y to get to a final, which is great.

“But if you want evi dence of how well Scottish clubs can do in Europe, there’s a trophy I can show you just down the road here, mate.”
