Sad news today and one that will echo throughout the footballing world. Billy McNeil was an absolute gentleman who was proud of his achievements in the game and considered himself lucky to have done so.
Thoughts are with his family and friends. R I P Billy

Proper old school captain who led by example on and off the park.
His achievements speak for themselves but You also won't find anyone in the game with a bad word to say about him. Nice tributes across the Scottish game for him
And he admitted a huge soft spot for the hibees.
RIP big man.

....and the winner today comes in the 67th minute scored by their number 5 which was McNeill's number from his playing days at Celtic.
Spooky....
