Throughout the history of Celtic Football Club many songs have been written to mark triumph and tragedy. Willie Maley runs through a multitude of monumental moments in Celtic folklore, whilst songs such as Hampden In The Sun and Piling On The Agony highlight individual successes. On the opposite end of the spectrum Johnny Thomson and Broken Dreams pay tribute to those lives tragically lost.

He has the rare accolade of a Celtic song being dedicated to him, despite never playing for the club and you can listen to, on this day of days, below:
