Former Celtic midfielder Callaghan dies aged 78

Callaghan scored on his Celtic debut against Partick Thistle at Firhill

Former Celtic midfielder Tommy Callaghan, who played over 250 times for the club and won six league medals, has died at the age of 78.

Callaghan joined in 1968 from Dunfermline Athletic and was notable for being the only player Jock Stein ever signed twice - having also taken him to the Pars in 1962.

A huge Celtic fan, the Fife native stayed at Parkhead for eight years and also won three Scottish Cups and two League Cups as well as scoring 34 goals before leaving in 1976 to join Clydebank.

After he retired from playing, he was still a regular at Celtic Park as a matchday host.

A statement from the club said: "The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic are with Tommy’s friends and family at this sad time."
