    Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, but just heard today that long-standing TC member, moderator and one of life's right good guys - Alec - passed away last week.

    Anyone who had dealings with Alec on here will know he was always pleasant to deal with, and always free for a friendly private conversation.

    For any who didn't know him personally, Alec was always there at Celtic Park on matchdays and would help anyone out with spare tickets, be them known to him or complete strangers who were told to go "find alec outside the pools office" when folk asked if any tickets about.

    A lovely guy who will be sorely missed on here, and on matchdays. And in general.

    The Lion sleeps tonight...RIP :54::shamrock::shamrock::shamrock::shamrock:

    Alec was one of the good guys in life would do anything for anyone


    Amount of times he banned me from here I've lost count




    His brother posted this on Facebook


    Sadly my Brother Alec passed away yesterday but at least he went quickly & relatively pain free & with dignity cared for by Marie Curie Nurses in his final hrs. He will be Sadly missed by his surviving Brothers & Sister as well as all his close friends & many Football friends that he had close connections with at Celtic football supporters club's. RIP BROTHER
