joe mcbride has passed away

i'm actually embarrassed that i put it on here as there's no understanding of history, and i no he was a hibee as well, rip joe!

McBride was born in Govan, just 200 yards from the home of Rangers.

presumably a catholic then?!

yeah average age on this forum must be 23 these days Gleddoch

before my time too tbh but 54 goals in 55 games for Celtic must have been quite a player as they had a great team then

"probably woulda played in 67 bar injury"

Joe McBride scored 36 goals before Christmas in the Lisbon season of 66-67, before
injury ended his campaign, but he still ended up Scottish League top scorer

There is no PROBABLY about it, Joe McBride was an absolutely CERTAIN starter in Celtic's European
Cup Final team, had he been fit for selection

He played only 94 times for Celtic and scored an astonishing 86 goals

My dad is a Hibee and tells me he was a hell of a player.

Not many people on here would have heard of him - certainly before my time as well. I was only vaguely aware of him from my dad's never-ending stories about Hibs' exploits in Europe.

Difficult to imagine a Scottish player having a similar career these days.

RIP Legend.

Very sad news. Joe McBride was a fantastic centre forward of the old school. Best remembered playing for Celtic and Hibs. Think he started his pro career with Luton and ended it with Clyde. RIP

Great player. Best striker at the tic before his injury. McNeil will always admit that. Greaves and joe were best strikers at the time. Both missed out on making history. Hail hail

Pretty decent striker,who certainly did'nt make the kind of money todays prima donnas are getting.
