The medal won by Lisbon Lion Bobby Murdoch in 1967 is expected to fetch £12,000 when it goes under the hammer at Christie's next month.

The Football Memorabilia collection also includes the medal won by Aberdeen's Stewart McKimmie during the club's European Super Cup win in 1983.

The last Celtic shirt worn by Henrik Larsson before leaving the club for Barcelona is also available.

The collection will go on sale in London on 21 September.

Bobby Murdoch was a creative midfielder who made 484 appearances and scored 105 goals for Celtic.

Murdoch died, aged 56, in May 2001.

He was a major influence in the Celtic team of 1966/67 that won every competition they entered.

Celtic, made up entirely of Scottish nationals, beat Inter Milan 2-1 in the European Cup final on 25 May, 1967 in Lisbon.

They became the first British side to win the competition and it was a Murdoch shot, knocked in by Stevie Chalmers, that decided the match.

The collection also includes many of Murdoch's domestic medals.

Stewart McKimmie made over 400 appearances for Aberdeen between 1983 and 1997, and made 40 international appearances for Scotland.

Having been signed by then-manager Alex Ferguson from Dundee, the Aberdeen-born defender went on to play in the European Super Cup final victory over Hamburg and was a strong performer during Aberdeen' s League Championship wins of 1983-84 and 1984-85.

Henrik Larsson played his last match for Celtic in a 1-0 win against Seville on 25 May 2004.

Having been signed by Celtic for £650,000 in 1997, Larsson went on to score 242 goals in 315 games.
