Lisbon Lion statue bid raises £50k

A CAMPAIGN to erect a statue of Celtic legend Tommy Gemmell in his home town has raised more than £50,000.

Gemmell, one of Celtic's Lisbon Lions who won the European Cup there in 1967, passed away aged 73 in 2017.

The Tommy Gemmell Community Project has set a target of £80,000 for the memorial in Craigneuk, Lanarkshire, but has already raised £50,000 through donations and events.

A sponsored walk was held last month which saw participants travel from Craigneuk to Celtic Park.

SO MUCH AT STEAK

WHAT'S that old saying again, one swallow doesn't make a summer? Well, one 6-0 win over Kilmarnock isn't going to guarantee that things are about to warm up over the winter period at Ibrox. With my old club currently shivering 11 points adrift at the top of the table, I'm not daft enough to suggest otherwise.
