The name of Patsy Gallacher is legendary at Celtic Football Club. It goes without saying that he is one of the finest player’s in Celtic’s long and illustrious history. However, little is known about his sons, who were professionals and one of whom played for Celtic.

Jock Weir scored the perfect hat-trick to give Celtic a 3-2 win and ensure the club’s survival. Thankfully, Celtic have never been in such a position again.
