2. Nantes
Celtic faced French champions Nantes during their run to the 1967 European Cup final. This shirt was swapped with Auld and is believed to have been worn by either Bernard Blanchet or Vladica Kovačević with the number 8 stitched into the back of the jersey.
3. Dukla Prague
One of the outstanding pieces in the collection is the shirt believed to be worn by Josef Vacenovsky during the second leg of the 1967 European Cup semi-final. Auld was pictured with the shirt over his shoulders after the match which finished 0-0.
4. Inter Milan
It was believed for many years that this jersey belonged to Inter Milan captain Armando Picchi during the 1967 European Cup final. However, recent thinking is that the jersey was not worn by Picchi during that European Cup campaign.
