30 SEPTEMBER 2003.
15 years ago today, the late Liam Miller scored Celtic’s opening goal against Lyon in the Champions League.
The Corkman headed home the Hoops’ first as they beat the French side 2-0 on a memorable night at Parkhead.
A goal that’s etched in Celtic history.
As Martin O’Neill described after Miller’s untimely death earlier this year:
“I remember the impact that Liam had in a big Champions League match against Lyon. We were pressing strongly and trying to find the breakthrough when Liam scored a magical goal that gave us momentum to win the game.”
Relive the magic.
Today, we remember and celebrate the life of Liam Miller.
