    Lovely lovely man. I've had the privilege of being in his company several times and he is the life and soul of the party. His story telling and corny jokes are great and he is just brilliant company. All my thoughts are with you and your family wee man :shamrock:

    Terrible news. Obviously before my time in his playing days but he's such a massive ambassador for the club and comes across as such a friendly, loveable person. Thoughts are with him and his family, horrible thing to go through.

    Devastating.

    The ultimate character.


    Celtic won’t ever be the same without his patter around :54:

    Whenever the wee man talks about Celtic it's always with such passion, great player and a great guy.

    Aye, he’s one like Tommy Burns for me. The epitome of Celtic that will be a huge miss in our culture and what we are.

    Yep.

    Far too young to have ever seen Auld play but for me he is Celtic. Every interview, documentary, clip, footage, audio of him is gold.

    More than any game played or goals scored, he’s the most important figure for me by his personality.

    I always have a hard time to answer a question like what celebrity I would like to meet. I don't tend to idolise to much. But even though he played before my time and I never had the look to bump into him in Glasgow, I always had a massive respect for him from his interviews etc. He came across as such a likeable lad who has time and a good word for everyone. A celebrity you can actually emulate in his passion for the sport and club he loves and the way he treats his fellow human beings! I hope this devastating sickness will be slow and that he can still enjoy as many years as possible. I'm glad this guy had the possibility to follow his dream and win the highest honour possible for the club and the people he loves the most! A warm human being who deserved all the good things he managed to achieve!

    My uncle's favourite ever player over everyone..

    He loved how much a tough wee * he was on the pitch. Could play but mix it up regularly and be quite nasty think he broke 1 or 2 player's leg's in his career :giggle1:

    A character is exactly the best way to describe him though. Can imagine he'd stop and waffle away to you for age's about Celtic and the old day's. I've always loved listening to the older generation's sit and talk Celtic for hour's and Bertie does it no only with conviction but humour as well..

    The horrible thing about him getting dementia is out of all the lion's whenever you heard them talking together, it was always be Bertie reminding them of certain bit's in stories etc. Very sad..

    Aye.

    Don’t know how to word it properly but if there’s one person you really don’t want to suffer with it, it’s him. He was always the shining light in anything to do with the Lions.

    Love the guy. I was in the hospitality lounge and he was at Haughey's table. Went over to say hello, was there about 15 mins. Couldn't have been nicer and even let me try on his medal from 67 which he wears all the time on a big gold bath chain thing of a necklace
