This is the Day – Billy McNeill statue to be unveiled in Bellshill at 1.30 pm

Just a wee reminder that today, Saturday is the unveiling of the statue, it’s at Bellshill cross at 1.30 pm. It is expected that 1-2k people will turn out for it with quite a few famous ex players from both side of the divide coming.  I’ve managed to obtain a VIP ticket, thanks to fellow noise member HD1460, I’m giving him a wee haun tomorrow installing the marble at the plinth in the morning.

Will take plenty of pictures and post them later on.
