Dario Franchitti
(Racing Car Driver, winner of the Indy 500 in May 2007, the first Scotsman to win it for 42 years!) (story)



"He also confessed yesterday to another source of inspiration: the Celtic side that won the 1967 European Cup. Franchitti has become obsessed by the story of the team, who all came from within 30 miles of Glasgow, to such an extent that he is a Celtic season ticket-holder, even though he lives most of the time thousand of miles away. Before the Indy 500 race, he watched film of that night when the famous Lisbon Lions won their cup and told his Andretti Green Racing team: “If that can’t inspire me, nothing will.” It clearly did.
