As of this writing Glasgow's Celtic FC are the only Scottish team to have triumphed in the European Cup. However even if another team from the land of Irn Bru and deep fried Mars Bars (both of which are delicious) were to equal that acheivement the Bhoys would still have a unique claim to fame: They are the only team to win the Polar Bear Trophy, which they gained after a victory over FC Valur of Iceland in the 1975 Cup Winners Cup.
The trophy is carved from stone and depicts "a polar bear devouring a seal". How lovely.
