Atletico may have been the bad guys back in 1974. But Martin O’Neill insists they wouldn't have got the penalty they did against Celtic 49 years later.
O’Neill admitted he was showing his age, but was adamant that the challenge from Taylor wolnd't have been enough to warrant a spot kick back in his day.
