Former Scotland international Bobby Murdoch, who played in the Celtic team that won the European Cup in 1967, has died in Glasgow at the age of 56.
The BBC said this morning Murdoch had died in hospital two days after a stroke. He had been taken to hospital after falling ill on Sunday and had slipped into a coma.
Murdoch, a playmaker capped 29 times by Scotland, joined Celtic in 1959 and played in the side that beat Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon in 1967 to become the first British team to win the European Cup.
He later played for English club Middlesbrough and also became their coach.
Former Celtic right-back Tommy Gemmell, who scored one of the goals that won the European Cup, told Sky Sports he would remember Murdoch as "a great colleague, a great player and a very good friend".
"He could score goals and make goals. His teamwork was magnificent. He was an all-round great player." Celtic chairman Brian Quinn said: "Bobby was a great servant to the club both on and off the field."
"His achievement as a Lisbon Lion and as a Scottish international will ensure that he lives on forever in the hearts and minds of the Celtic family."
Murdoch will be remembered tonight at Tommy Boyd's testimonial match between Celtic and Manchester United.
