Without looking up the wiki i noticed a few players in this pic never got a game for the Celtic 1st team, the 2 i spotted right away are the Rankin Brothers.
Joe Rankin is a retired publican and lives up in Perth now - He went from Celtic to Clydebank and then Morton - Broke his elbow four times in one season :rubeyes: and had to walk away from the game at 22 and subsequently spent his working life in the pub game.

That pic says P Rankin but it is Joe's brother Frank - Frank sadly died a relatively young man in 1985.

They, their father and the other brothers Archie and Stan were a footballing family - Stan had the most successful career with Morton.

Seem to remember Joe saying auld fella was heavily involved with St.Roch's but I may be wrong about that.
I think it's fair to say that most of the stuff on the wiki regarding players who never actually played a competitive game came from records I've kept over far too many years. However, this photo is invaluable to me personally for a few reasons:-

Firstly, I only ever had a record of Frank Rankin (it's definitely Frank and not a 'P' Rankin) and had never heard of Joe. So cheers CB67 (again) for that background.
Secondly, I'd never realised that Stan Rankin of Morton (who I remember well) was part of the same family.
Lastly (and most importantly to me), for years I've been a collector of Celtic team photos and it's not that often I see one that I've never seen before, but this is the biggest team group that I haven't seen before (there have been a few other team groups in this thread that I hadn't seen, but this is the biggest group of players). This photo includes players like Bobby Symington and Allan Lawson that I don't have in any other team group in my collection.

Cheers for this GR :thumbsup: :worthy:

No probs :thumbsup:

Im sure the guys like me who load up the photos get as much if not more pleasure from the guys like yourself, CaltonBhoy, FLC, st.anthony, Gorbals, CelticIreland, etc who have all put names, dates, games and excellent info to the photos provided. :worthy:


My main aim in starting the thread was to hopefully help gather information for the WIKI, which will hopefully outlive us all as an incredible source of information and knowledge on the subject we love.

Thanks to everyone so far. :) :clover:

Ah, the lovely Michelle. She must have been the original Scottish WAG. Lucky old Roughie but they are no longer together.

S'ppose that means she's now available... :rolleyes:

You're right GR I look forward to checking this thread daily.

Put tons of stuff on the wiki just wish I'd stuck it on here before it went on.

Wee Bobby the happiest wee guy who ever pulled on the hoops.

I've got over 500 pictures from magazines and comics. Getting them on the wiki slowly but surely.
