Simeone was asked to respond to a Daily Record headline branding them 'Pathetico Madrid' for the stunt.
Unrepentant Atletico Madrid insist they have every right to pay homage to the 1974 team which reached the European Cup final after kicking Celtic off the park by wearing retro shirts in honour of their heroes at Parkhead tonight.
“Newspapers will have their headlines but what matters to me is the stadium, the history and the crowd. It is a huge game, the Champions League and their fans will be hoping to get a win. We are going to approach the game with a lot of enthusiasm and vigour.” “It’s not so important for what happens in the game what jersey we wear, the most important thing is what happens on the pitch. But it’s a great gesture from the club and it’s an important part of the club’s history, what happened 50 years ago.”
