Airdrieonians have paid tribute to former player Pat McCluskey, who sadly passed away this week.
Pat played for the club between 1980 and 1982, having made his name during a hugely successful seven-year spell at Celtic.
McCluskey, a midfielder who also played for Dumbarton and Queen of the South, was 68.
Airdrie director of football Stuart Millar was a close friend of the 'larger than life character' and told the club's official website: "Everyone at Airdrie, including the many former players who have already been in touch, were devastated to hear the news.
"It was a great pleasure to have been Pat’s team-mate. As a young player I was in awe of this experienced player who had featured in so many big games, including two European semi-finals whilst a Celtic player - I even forgave him for scoring against Airdrie in the 1975 cup final!
"Most recently, he was a guest of the club last season, and as usual he was great value as he entertained guests in hospitality. They certainly don’t make them like they used to.
"Rest in peace, Paddy - it was a pleasure knowing you.”
