The football world paid its respects to ex-Celtic and St Mirren legend Frank McGarvey after he passed away this morning at the age of 66. Former players, ex-teammates, the Scottish Football Association and the striker's clubs hailed the 66-year-old, who won a host of trophies in his career, after he lost his brave fight against pancreatic cancer.
The striker, who was born in Glasgow, became a fans' favourite at several clubs, due to the number and importance of his goals. And a number of famous faces paid their respects to the doting dad after his death was announced by his family this morning.
McGarvey earned seven caps for Scotland during his 18-year professional career, which saw him having two spells with St Mirren, and the SFA said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Frank McGarvey. The former striker lifted the Scottish Cup with both Celtic and St Mirren, and was capped seven times by Scotland. The thoughts of everyone at the Scottish FA are with his family and friends."
