As Atletico Madrid commemorate 1974 shame game, Greg Taylor is hoping Celtic have a night to remember for all the right reasons...
MANY years from now, Celtic may come up against Atletico Madrid in European competition once more. And if they do, defender Greg Taylor hopes it may be the Scottish side who have reason to commemorate a glorious result of the past.
“One of the Spanish journalists said that Atletico are wearing shirts to commemorate that game. I think it was quite an iconic game for the cards and the tackles etc., to be fair. We’ll just focus on us. There’s been many special nights here, but we want to create our own history. “You want to create history for them with this group of players. We’ve got such a good group, a group that’s so eager to do well, so many talented players.
“Griezmann found pockets all over the pitch and was very difficult to pick up. He is a real clever player, and we will need to watch out for him. “ will be useful in terms of seeing the type of positions these players take. But we do our analysis with the coaches and the manager, to see what Atletico do over the piece. We are really well prepared and have a great team behind us.
