Celtic supporters have been named the best in world football at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2017 in London.

The Hoops fought off competition from Borussia Dortmund and FC Copenhagen to pick up the prestigious award for their 50th anniversary tribute to the 1967 European Cup winning Lisbon Lions.

In a ceremony attended by the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish, fans took part in a card display which showed an image of the European Cup, accompanied by the words ‘Lisbon Lions’ at their final game of last season at Parkhead in tribute to Celtic’s 1967 triumph over Inter Milan in the Portuguese capital.
