Celtic legend and Lisbon Lion Bertie Auld has passed away at the age of 83.
Born in Maryhill, Auld joined the Hoops from Maryhill Harp in 1955 just after his 17th birthday.
After making his debut in a Charity Cup match against Rangers in 1957, he went on to make a total of 283 appearances for Celtic, winning five league titles, four League Cups and three Scottish Cups.
Auld was also part of Jock Stein's iconic Celtic side that beat Inter Milan 2-1 on May 25, 1967 in Lisbon’s Estadio Nacional to become the first British side to lift the European Cup.
