Former Celtic full-back Jim Craig and the club’s previous owner Fergus McCann have been recognised in the New Year Honours.
Craig was one of the Lisbon Lions who became the first British team to win the European Cup when Celtic beat Inter Milan in the Portuguese capital in 1967 and has been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
The 82-year-old joined Celtic from Glasgow University Football Club, where he was studying dentistry, and continued as an amateur until signing professional in January 1965. He made his first-team debut at the age of 21 while still a student.
Craig made 231 appearances for Celtic and won 15 major trophies.
He later played for South African club Hellenic and Sheffield Wednesday and had a short spell as Waterford manager before becoming a full-time dentist.
McCann, 84, becomes a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the economy and to charity.
He grew up in Kilsyth before emigrating to Canada, where he built a successful golf holiday business.
McCann made several attempts to invest in Celtic before leading a takeover in 1994.
Celtic won just three trophies during McCann’s five years at the helm but he redeveloped the stadium and modernised the club, leaving a platform for the Glasgow club to dominate Scottish football as he returned to live in North America.
