Celtic Chairman John Reid has led the tributes to Celtic Legend Tommy Burns, who sadly passed away earlier today at the age of 51 after a long battle with cancer.
The Chairman John Reid told the Celtic website: “The passing of Tommy Burns is devastating news and my sincere and heartfelt sympathies go to Rosemary and Tommy's family.”
John Reid said: “Tommy is someone who was loved by so many of us. He was a man of true integrity and dignity. As a Celtic player, Manager and Coach, Tommy served Celtic with distinction and true professionalism. He was a true gentleman and someone who had the ability to connect and engage with anyone he met.
John Reid continued: “As Celtic supporters we recognised Tommy as one of our own and Tommy in turn was always delighted to spend time in the company of fellow fans. It was a privilege to know Tommy Burns. He was a man who gave so much to the Club he loved over so many years.
