THE JOHN THOMSON 3G pitch in Cardenden has been vandalised with blue and red paint poured on the sign and the pitches.
The sign features the face of the village’s most famous son, who tragically lost his life while playing for Celtic at Inbox on 5 September 1931.
The images of the damage have been posted on social media by local Celtic supporter Liam @FreeGellyBhoy.
Celtic captain Scott Brown, a Fife boy himself, opened the pitch at the end of last year after a tremendous fund raising effort from the Celtic supporters and other local groups.
Liam also reports that John Thomson’s grave was also vandalised a few years ago, with paint being poured on the grave.
