CELTIC legend Jim Brogan has passed away after a long battle with dementia.
His daughter Collette confirmed the news to Evening Times, saying “Dad passed away at 1.30am this morning.
“It’s a relief really. He had been in palliative care for the last five weeks.”
The 74-year-old former Celtic star passed away early this morning at Moffat Street Nursing home in Glasgow.
Left back Brogan played for Celtic in 332 games between 1962-75 and scored 9 goals for the club. Jim won 7 league titles, 4 Scottish Cups and 3 League Cups and so has become one of Celtic’s most successful players.
“With his whole hearted attitude, determination and great defensive play Jim was an inspiration in Jock Stein’s successful sides from 1968-1975 and is very fondly remembered. He will be ranked also as one of the hardest guys the support will ever see wear the hoops, never taking a prisoner on the pitch,” the Celtic Wiki wrote about the Celtic legend.
Rest in Peace Jim, Celtic legend.
