Thursday, May 15, 2008
Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 following a long-running battle with cancer.
The club's first-team coach contracted skin cancer in 2006 and suffered a recurrence earlier this year.
The former Scotland international spent 15 years as a Celtic player in the 1970s and 1980s and also managed the club for three seasons.
In a statement this morning, Celtic said he was a true legend who would be sadly missed by everyone.
