A True Champion!

Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 after losing his long-running battle against cancer.

Burns had been undergoing treatment in both Glasgow and France in recent weeks after being diagnosed in March.

The former Scotland midfielder was treated for skin cancer in 2006 but it returned earlier this year.

Burns played for Celtic from 1974 to 1989, had a spell as manager in the mid-1990s and was the club's first-team coach before being granted leave.

Tommy on as sub to win the league at Tannadice 1981. With a twist and a turn and a wicked left foot screamer the Title was ours. God Bless You Tommy. Your great pal Johnny Doyle would have been waiting for you with open arms. Three in a row is for you and yours from ALL Celtic fans. You were just a fan like the rest of us. Goodnight God Bless you.

Tommy Burns.

It was with much sadness that i heard on the radio Tommy had passed away. Having lost my own Mum recently I can only hope that his family are coping well and remember the man he was and all the wee things that will make this horrible time bearable. He brought a lot of smiles and happiness in his lifetime through his skills and faithfulness to Celtic, R.I.P Tommy, one in a million.
