Atletico Madrid Pays Tribute to ‘Battle of Glasgow’ with Special Kit against Celtic FC: Probable Lineups, Match Time, and Where to Watch

Atlético de Madrid visits Celtic FC in a match that could put the colchoneros in a very good position with the objective of passing the group stage of the Champions League. Taking advantage of the fact that they arrive at a historic venue such as Celtic Park, the Madrid team will pay tribute to what is known as the ‘Battle of Glasgow’, that 1974 match in which the red and white team got on track to reach the final of the European Cup despite losing eight footballers.

In that clash, Atleti wore a red shirt and now they wanted to commemorate that feat with a special kit that imitates the one from that day. Thus, this Wednesday they will wear red elastic, blue pants and red socks. In the statement on their website they have included statements from the president, Enrique Cerezo: “This Wednesday we meet again with a historic club in a mythical stadium, Celtic Park, where we will have the honor of reliving a duel that half a century later still remains in the memory of all athletes”.

The scorers of the duel at the Calderón that would seal their place in the final after Glasgow’s 0-0, Adelardo Rodríguez and José Eulogio Gárate, also spoke. The latter states that “it is a pride and a nice detail for the club to wear the same colors fifty seasons later. I remember that season with special affection, we had a great team and we were all a big family.”
