RIP Tommy Burns
Celtic and Scotland lost a friend today, as Tommy Burns lost his battle with cancer. In addition to his club positions at Kilmarnock and Celtic, he was assistant manager to both Berti Vogts and Walter Smith, and manager himself for a short time between their tenures. I have to admit that my knowledge of Tommy is limited, and so I suggest you go over to the Celtic Offside, where Matt has put together some links to testimonials and obituaries. From the little I knew of Tommy Burns, he was universally liked and one of the class acts of Scottish football. If it wasn’t for his failing health, he would have surely been one of the finalists for George Burley’s job, and might even be our manager today. Rest in peace, Tommy.
