What happened. Martin O'Neill said Celtic should aspire to win the Champions League, citing the 1967 Lisbon Lions as the benchmark, ahead of their play-off qualifier against LASK.

O'Neill expressed disappointment over losing Arne Engels to West Ham.
Celtic were beaten at this stage last year by Kairat Almaty.
The 2027 final will mark 60 years since Celtic's European Cup win.

“I believe that Celtic should be aspiring to that. We may never, ever, ever get there.”
— Martin O'Neill
