2 comments so far (post your own)A talented youngster signed by Bob Shankly in 1966. Made fleeting first-team appearances in his relatively short time at the club. Played on the tour of Nigeria and Ghana in May/June 1968. In June 1971 he joined Morton.
Also played for Stirling Albion, Cowdenbeath & Newtongrange Star.
