Former Celtic captain Duncan Mackay has died aged 82.

Mackay, known as Dunky, played for the club between 1955 and 1964, making 236 appearances and scoring seven goals.

His first-team debut came in August 1958, in a League Cup tie against Clyde at Shawfield, which Celtic won 4-1, and he soon established himself as first-choice right-back in the team.

MacKay was a firm fans’ favourite and was made captain by club record goal-scorer Jimmy McGrory.

He would later pass on the captain’s armband to Billy McNeill for the start of the 1963/64 season.

In November 1984, he moved to Third Lanark, before heading out to Australia where he would eventually settle after a brief return to Scotland. He also gained 14 caps for Scotland during his playing career.

The Celtic players will wear black armbands at today's game against St Mirren as a mark of respect.
