Can someone help me?

First of all I am a Rangers fan but I come in peace. I actually need your help.
We are arranging a small gathering for my Gran's birthday this year (she's 90 and the rest of the family are celtic fans) so we are taking her to the Number 7 restaurant at Parkhead. Anyway I am in charge of organising the cake, we have decided on a white cake with mini Celtic shirts on it, on these shirts I want to put the names of the Lisbon Lions and their number ( I know these weren't on the shirts back then) but it will mean something to her.
So I have a team list but I'm hoping one of you could post who played in which number. I would be very grateful. Also am I correct in assuming Ronnie Simpson's shirt was plain green? Every image I see is in black and white.

Thank you both for the quick replies. Now to go and make the baker's like a little more complicated.

 

what a team eh.? . .. everyone of them world class .. but wee bertie was personal favourite.. would have put neil lennon and keane at the boys gate imo.

 

Even I will admit they were a great team. I have to say my soft spot was for Jimmy Johnstone.

 

everyone had a softspot for jinky hes one of those people with that spark in thier eyes a touch of magic also i think we bertie was great hes always hilarious and talks a lot of sense when hes on celtic tv

edith and good luck to your gran mate hope yous all have a good time

 

Thanks I'm sure we will all have a great time. i will sit in Parkhead like the good grand daughter I am and enjoy myself. the menu looks good and from what others who have been there have told me it's a good restaurant.

 

aw thats auffy nice its never 2 late to become a jungle jim .hope you all have a lovley night you canny beat yer wee granny

 

If your family is Celtic, how did you end up a Rangers fan?

 

It happens in familys like different fathers etc etc

 

Yeah most of my family are Rangers supporters. Granda tryed to bring me up as a Rangers fan but I ignored what he said, dunno why. I just did.

 

I think it was my form of rebellion, I'm sure Dad thought i would grow out of it. Him being from Rutherglen he certainly hoped I would.
He used reverse psychology in things like drinking etc and I never did those so he must have thought yes she can support rangers and I would do the opposite. It never happened and well even with the bad seasons I've stuck with them
You get good banter in the family over the football though. it's been a bit one sided at my expense recently but hey that's football fo you.

 

I'd just like to thank those of you who helped me with names for my gran's cake. We had a great time yesterday at Parkhead and even I have to admit the place is impressive.

 

how did u book it mate???

 

Just called up Parkhead and arranged a time and date for the meal. All the times and info is on Celtic's website. Well worth going even if it's not a special occasion, the food is great, service fab...only complaint I had is there was a lot of green and white about, couldn't understand that.

 

Good one Vee! Hope you had a great time and converted a few!

 

Had no chance of converting anyone to my side, if I mentioned rangers I got told off for swearing.
No joke a nun came in with another lunch party and asked for the tv to be switched on so she could watch rangers get beat.

 

LOL, hope you all had a great time. Especially after watching the Game. All the best to your Gran on reaching such a milestone. Is it not time for you to come over from the dark side??

 

NIce and bright on this side Tonybhoy you should take a wee look sometime.
