Biog

The son of a Scottish soldier Henry Callachan was born in Madras, India.

He cost Celtic £50 when he signed from junior outfit Roby Roy (Kirkintilloch) in August 1925. The right-sided full back was bought as cover for Willie McStay but found himself also behind Hugh Hilley and latterly Peter McGonagle in the battle for a first-team slot.

He made his debut in a 0-0 league draw with Dundee at Celtic Park on 31st October in the Championship winning 1925/26 season. He was never to become a regular starter though and in September 1927 he moved south to join Leicester City after just 11 appearances in the Hoops, but things didn't work out there either.
