The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Celtic forward Frank McAvennie criticized Celtic for scheduling an Oasis concert at Celtic Park on May 25, 2027. The scheduled date marks the 60th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions defeating Inter Milan to win the European Cup under manager Jock Stein. Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher sold out five tour dates at Parkhead across late May.
