Tributes have poured in for Lisbon Lion, Bertie Auld, who has passed away at the age of 83.

The Celtic legend established his relationship with the Celtic support through two spells with the club, making nearly 300 appearances and being an integral part of the great Celtic side under the stewardship of Jock Stein.

Bertie cemented that special relationship with the fans in the intervening years, and they loved him for the passion and pride he always showed for Celtic.

Here are just a few of the thousands of tributes that have been paid to Bertie Auld…
