I joined Don Riddell (what a host) on CNN World Sport to discuss Celtic’s incredible league title win.

This wasn’t long after the game and I’d been on ultra capo duties at the ACSOM Fanzone earlier, so please excuse the hoarse voice.

📆 #OnThisDay in 1974, Franz Beckenbauer captained Bayern Munich to their first European Cup title.

🏆 This was the first of Bayern’s three consecutive European titles.

📕 Uli Hesse’s “The Three Lives of the Kaiser” tells us he was much more than just a fantastic footballer.

Johan Cruyff played his last career football match ever, #OTD in 1984. He scored Feyenoord’s first goal in a 2-1 win, and sealed his career with another Eredivisie title.
