THE CELTIC family are thinking about one of our favourite sons, Tommy Gemmell today. Tommy was born on this day in 1943. He was a friend of mine. I got to know Tommy really well in the latter part of his life and he was always at his best when the conversation turned to Celtic.

He was never arrogant – quite the opposite in fact – and he loved talking about Celtic, just as he had loved playing for Celtic. He always did both with such style and commitment to the cause.
