Celtic fume as Atletico Madrid still to wear all-red '74 kit for Champions League showdown

Atletico Madrid won't change their plans to wear an all red kit for tonight's Champions League clash at Celtic.

The Scottish press and fans have taken issue with Atletico honouring their 1974 team by wearing an all red kit.

It was in these colours that Atletico clash with Celtic in 1974 at Parkhead, when they had three players sent off and brawled with both Celtic players and local police.

And Celtic fans and the media are upset with the decision.

Hoops legend Tony Callaghan said: "It is in bad taste to wear that shirt, perhaps they have forgotten what happened in 1974. It is incendiary."
