Background

In 1967 Glasgow Celtic became the first British Club to win the European
Cup, beating Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon. This was a magnificent achievement
for Manager Jock Stein and his players and it was achieved with an all-out
attacking style which at the time changed the face of European football (in
stark contrast to the Italian's beloved and ultra-defensive
"catenaccio-system"). What was all the more impressive was that all of the
players in the team were Scottish; in fact they were all born within a
25-mile radius of Glasgow. Of course that was 1967 - an all-Scottish team
could never win a European trophy in today's era of multi-national squads.
Or could they?

The Challenge
1. Take charge of Rangers, Celtic or indeed any other Scottish Club.
2. Build a 100% Scottish playing squad
3. Win either the UEFA Cup or the Champions League
4. After that (or at the same time if you wish) take charge of the Scottish
National Team and achieve history by taking them to the knockout stages of
the European Championship Finals and the World Cup Finals.

Bonus Challenge
In season 1966/67, Celtic won every competition that they entered - for the
ultimate challenge, see if you can emulate that feat in a single season.

As usual, stickied for a couple of days. Bobbev can gather the info for log to begin and then whatever happens after that, I've no idea tbh.

Well done Bob

Congrats on a great challenge BobBev. Shows that you can teach an old dog new tricks

I'm now actively seeking time to play this challenge, although I feel my Caley Thistle save game may come in useful at some point...

Nice work Bob, I've never had much, if any, success with challenges but it certainly seems to have captured the forum's imaginaton!

Brian of Nazareth

Great idea - I'll be giving this a shot.

Question 1
Does Scottish as a second nationality (i.e. a naturalised player) count as Scottish for the purpose of the challenge?

mavericktango

I don't think it should do as the challenge says "100%" Scottish
