UEFA Cup Final: Porto might be the bookmakers' favourites to add the UEFA Cup to their 1987 European Cup triumph but history suggests it will be Celtic who achieve that feat today. The Parkhead side have achieved six successes from eight ties against Portuguese opposition.

(Celtic win toss of coin)
Tommy Gemmell took just two minutes to open the scoring in the first leg before Willie Wallace and Harry Hood looked to have given the Hoops a commanding lead over Eusebio and company.

Celtic 1 Boavista 1; Boavista 0 Celtic 1
Henrik Larsson cancelled out a Joos Valgaeren own goal just a minute after Boavista had gratefully accepted the gift from the Belgian defender. But the Swedish striker was guilty of squandering a first-leg lead when he missed a crucial penalty. But Larsson made amends for his spot-kick agony at Parkhead when he took advantage of a wayward clearance 12 minutes from time to earn the Hoops their first European final place since 1970.
