EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic moment when Mrs Billy McNeill, along with the other Celtic wives, returned home to Prestwick Airport in Scotland. The atmosphere is palpable as they step off the plane into a torrential downpour of rain. It is May 27th, 1967, and just hours earlier their loved ones had secured an unforgettable victory for Celtic in the European Cup Final against Inter Milan in Lisbon, Portugal. The image captures Mrs Billy McNeill standing alone amidst the chaos of airport activity. Her expression reflects a mix of pride, relief, and perhaps even exhaustion after witnessing her husband's team triumph on such a grand stage. She stands tall and resilient despite being drenched by the pouring rain. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic moment in football history but also serves as a testament to the unwavering support that these women provided for their husbands throughout their careers. Their journey from Lisbon to Prestwick Airport symbolizes both physical distance covered and emotional resilience displayed. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but be moved by the dedication shown by these remarkable women who stood steadfastly behind their victorious partners. This picture encapsulates not only sporting achievement but also love and unity within families during times of great triumphs.
