Celtic legends turn out for funeral of Lisbon Lion John Clark as fans gather at Celtic Park

Stars of Celtic’s past and present have turned out for the funeral of club legend John Clark in Glasgow.

Clark made over 300 appearances for the Hoops and was part of the club’s famous Lisbon Lions team who won the European Cup by defeating Inter Milan in the Portuguese capital.

The former defender, who was at Celtic for 50 years as a player, coach, assistant manager and kit man, died last week at the age of 84.

His funeral service was held at St Mary’s Church on Abercrombie Street in the Calton area, where Celtic were formed in 1887.

Club icons such as fellow Lisbon Lion Jim Craig, former player and manager Neil Lennon, and ex-captain Scott Brown all attended the service.

Current star Kieran Tierney, who recently returned to Parkhead, and manager Brendan Rodgers were also at the funeral.

Roy Keane, former Celtic and Manchester United player, was also in attendance, as well as members of the club’s board, including Peter Lawell and Dermot Desmond.

Portuguese flags hung from the balconies inside the church during a service that also heard the Celtic anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone played on the organ.

The cortege then travelled down The Celtic Way, with fans gathering at the Parkhead stadium to say a final farewell.
