    To describe Hugh McIlvanney as an outstanding sports journalist would be an injustice. He was a poet, philosopher and genius. R.I.P Hugh :shamrock:

    What a distinctive and calming voice he had, narrated Celtic videos I watched growing up I’m sure.

    Knew his stuff and some! RIP

    Absolute gentleman and proper journalist not like the idiots today in SMSM, remember listening to a programme "The Belfast Celtic Story" on bbc bout 20odd years ago,George Best on the programme praising the grand old team saying his old man used to tell him stories
