Celtic hero Frank McGarvey to be laid to rest, with fans able to watch funeral

Football supporters will be able to pay tribute to former Celtic, Liverpool and Clyde hero Frank McGarvey when he is laid to rest today.

McGarvey, 66, sadly passed away on January 1, following a battle against pancreatic cancer.

A Requiem Mass will be held at St Anthony's Church in Glasgow and broadcast on YouTube, allowing fans to pay their respects.

Celtic shared details, posting on Twitter: "The funeral of Celtic icon Frank McGarvey can be viewed on the link tomorrow (Monday, January 16) at 1pm.

"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family and friends of Frank at this difficult time."

McGarvey helped Clyde win the Second Division title in 1993 and the club raised the shirt he wore during the title clinching game before holding a minute's applause ahead of their home game against Kelty Hearts on January 7.
