Paul Lambert has revealed the reasons behind Celtic's infamous 'smell the glove' t-shirts when they stopped Rangers winning 10 in a row in 1998.
And the former Hoops skipper has moved to dismiss the rumours that suggested it came from an angry Andy Goram throwing his goalkeeper gloves into the home dressing room after a Rangers defeat at Celtic Park.
And he made the surprising revelation that it really means nothing, or at least Celtic players don't even know what it was mean but it was planned for a while.
Lambert was part of the famous Celtic team that won the league in 1998, after joining just six months after winning the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund.
And the current Ipswich boss admits that it was good fun within the Celtic group but revealed there wasn't really much behind.
He explained to Richard Keys and Andy Gray on beINSPORT: "We were training with Scotland at one point and down at Kilmarnock. Tosh McKinlay was a really funny guy and was in the Scotland squad at that time.
"When we pulled into Kilmarnock there was a brick wall on the right hand side and there was a little spray painted hand on the wall and under it had the slogan ‘smell the glove’.
"When we went into training that day, Tosh kept on shouting it ‘smell the glove, smell the glove’.
"When we went back to Celtic and got our own gloves, so we thought ‘If we win the league we can get t-shirts made, smell the glove’.
"That started to leak out in the press that Celtic were going to do this smell the glove thing. We beat Rangers at Parkhead and there was a story that never ever was true, that Andy Goram had thrown in goalie gloves into the dressing room, enraged that we had beat them.
"That’s nonsense but we had decided to make these t-shirts with smell the glove.
"Honestly, that created an absolute frenzy because people thought ‘What does that mean?’
"We didn’t even know what it meant. See the guy who actually took the time to do that he must have been thinking ‘I should have copywrited that’ because he would have been a millionaire, that guy."
