Jimmy McGrory sadly passed away 39 years ago yesterday.
Jimmy couldn't get a game for Celtic and he was loaned out to Clydebank.
He scored at Celtic Park for Clydebank in a 2-1 victory in 1924.
It was a shock result because the Bankies had only ever beaten Celtic once before.
McGrory mentioned that was an important goal because he didn't want Celtic to forget about him.
When he returned to Celtic, he never looked back and became the highest goal scorer in British football history.

The Pride of Parkhead
Oh, Jimmy McGrory
The Prince of Garngad
The best centre-forward
The Celts ever had
Oh see him rise high in the goalmouth to score
Oh, Jimmy McGrory
Just gie us one more
Oh, send for McGrory (x3)
Tae gie us one more
(Tune: Hail Glorious St. Patrick;

mind you, the club did not see him like that, they saw pounds and when he refused to go to Arsenal, they cut his wages. He did not care.
He said, "McGrory of Celtic sounded much better than McGrory of Arsenal! "
