Celtic legends have come together to pay their respects to John 'Yogi' Hughes after his sad passing was announced this week.
A member of the Lisbon Lions squad which famously won the European Cup for the Hoops in 1967, Hughes passed away at the age of 79 after a short illness. He scored 189 goals for the club between 1959 and 1971, with his family saying he 'joins the ranks of those who will be immortal as long as there's a Glasgow Celtic.'
Former teammate Jim Craig told the Daily Record of the Parkhead legend: “John was a big, easy-going fella and one whose talent was not always appreciated. Doing those runs we used to do in training between the cones, Yogi was like a ballet dancer. A big, burly ballet dancer, right enough! But he would glide around and take the ball wherever he wanted. What he did at Celtic was just superb."
