    Rest In Peace Billy.

    Any ideas on what kind of tribute Celtic should have for the Killie game?

    SIR Alex Ferguson has paid his own tribute to Billy McNeill, describing the Celtic legend as ‘a truly good man’.

    Both men first faced each other as footballers, most notably when Billy captained Celtic and Alex Ferguson was a forward with Rangers.

    Later, they faced each other across the dugout, particularly in the years when Billy managed his beloved Celtic and Alex Ferguson was in charge of Aberdeen, having succeeded Billy at Pittodrie in 1978. At all times there was a healthy rivalry but mutual respect between two giants of the game.

    Speaking today, Sir Alex Ferguson said: “I, like everyone in Scotland today, is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Billy McNeill.

    “He was a giant in Scottish Football, a man with an incredible presence and I'll always cherish the fact that we entered professional football at the same time. We played against each other on many occasions and, as anyone who played against him will testify, he was the fairest of players.

    “He was also a truly good man and will be a loss to everyone who knew him. Farewell Cesar.”
