Portuguese club pay tribute to Celtic great.
Portuguese side Sporting Club de Portugal have showed their solidarity with Celtic.
Celtic lost a club legend this week, with Billy McNeill passing away.
McNeil won more than 30 major trophies for Celtic, including becoming the first man to captain a British club to win the European Cup in 1967.
Sporting sent a message to Celtic via social media last night.
There has been an outpouring of support for Celtic from across the football world to recognise McNeill’s passing.
Sporting’s message shows how highly he was regarded, with his exploits as part of Celtic’s famous Lisbon Lions side touching the Portuguese public.
The standards he set are almost impossible for anybody in the modern game to live up to.
