After the justified comments by John McMaster that Aberdeen’s Cup Winners Cup triumph in 1983 was a greater achievement than that of the Lisbon Lions the Daily Record has doubled down on their own stupidity.
Gordon Park has been selected to back up the Gothenburg case as the Glasgow based publisher takes advantage of the attention created by their claims from the previous day.
It would be a very lengthy list to explain why Celtic’s 67 triumph was better but frankly an insult to all involved to compare them to the third best team in Scotland during the 82/83 season.
Sure it was a fine achievement to bring a European trophy to Pittodrie but it is best leaving it at that instead of trying to compare against the greatest ever Scottish sporting achievement.
If the Record want to create a real debate they could compare the winners of the 1972 and 1983 Cup Winners Cup.
One team entered the tournament as Scottish Cup winners, played their match until the final whistle and defended the trophy the following season.
Those FACTS! However may be a bit uncomfortable for the Record’s ageing army of readers. The glory of the Lions will still be burning brightly long after the last copy of the Record rolls off the presses at Cardonald.
Is this a wind up? Perhaps they should ask Alex Ferguson! ? pic.twitter.com/h0xs54D1LB

They might as well have just thrown the rest of that interview with the Aberdeen player in the bucket
They got the quote they were after and they’ll run with it as long as possible
I can’t believe we are actually having this debate
They’re just trolling Celtic fans daft enough to read their pish.
I stopped reading their pish after the Sunday Mail parked a hearse outside Parkheid.
More fool you if you continue to do so.
If you are still one of the few people left who buy the daily Record , you know ,the rag that raises it’s price 3 times a year and who raised it’s price during the World COVID lockdown ,then you need medical help …. NOW !
So 1967 is still news.
I remember 67, then something in 72, what happened in 83?
Well iv said before il say again the daily record is gutter press and it employs horrible sporys writers who know nothing except show bigotory sectarian hatred in the rubbish they write.i myself used to work at daily record in cardonald cleaning the print rollers back in early 90s i had to give that job up due to very horrible co workers who festered in sectarian hatred anyone who supported celtic or had what id say was not a protestant name or anyone having irish traits .they were horrible ignorant people uneducated thick those who worked at cardonald daily record.daily record is trash newspaper as is all sports writers who are employed by them .making up lies telling lies trying to unsettle players trying to disrespect celtic football at every chance.therefore id advise anyone not to buy this gutter press daily record its best way to shut them down dont buy .
