@Keith Ellis – The socks that Celtic wore belonged to Leeds United. Leeds decided to wear white socks and Celtic, not having brought alternative kit with them, were forced to borrow a set from their hosts. Leeds’ standard first team kit socks were a strong shade of red that bordered on orange.
This pic of Billy Bremner and Cesar is from the 2nd leg but you can see the top of Bremner’s socks.

They’re the same socks that Celtic wore in the first leg.

I wonder if Celtic had won this final whether Scottish rather than Dutch teams would have gone on to dominate European football in the early 1970′s?

Hiya,
Do you know of any colour photos of the Leeds Celtic game on 1 4 1970 please ? Celtic played in change socks but reports state yellow/gold/orange/red ?
A picture would leave no argument ?

Cheers .

It would have been John Fallon, who lost his place in the Celtic team to Williams that season. Ronnie Simpson was still at the club, but wasn’t an active player that season, in fact he retired the day after the final.
