The legendary defender captained the famous Lisbon Lions side that defeated Inter Milan in the 1967 European Cup final, becoming the first British club captain to lift European football\u2019s biggest trophy.<\/p>\n<p>A return to Celtic Park in a senior capacity would therefore represent a powerful connection between the club&#8217;s glorious past and its future. Supporters would undoubtedly celebrate the prospect of seeing the legendary figure once again associated with the club he served with extraordinary distinction.<\/p>\n<p>In this fictional storyline, O\u2019Neill describes McNeill\u2019s experience, leadership and understanding of Celtic as invaluable, while supporters across the Celtic community welcome the announcement with enormous excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome back home, C\u00e9sar\u201d would be the message echoing around Celtic Park\u2014a symbolic tribute to one of the most important figures in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Although this scenario is fictional, McNeill\u2019s real legacy remains firmly embedded in Celtic history. His achievements as captain, player and manager helped establish him as one of the true giants of the club.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a stunning\u00a0 scenario that would send waves of emotion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":15903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[144],"class_list":["post-15901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-celtic-fc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>THESE IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HOPE FOR: In a moment that has sent shockwaves of joy through the valley and The team broader community Celtic fc head coach Martin O\u2019Neill has officially confirmed that legendary Billy McNeill (\u201cC\u00e9sar\u201d) returning to the organisation _ this time not as a player but as their new senior c\u2026.see more - topupsport<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In a stunning\u00a0 scenario that would send waves of emotion throughout the Celtic community, Celtic head coach Martin O\u2019Neill has s...
