Biog

Frank McCarron was the Scotland schoolboy international skipper when he was signed by Celtic in May 1962.

The Kinning Park youngster made his only first team competitive appearance in a 2-0 league victory at home to Hibernian on April 6 1963.

With the likes of Billy McNeill and John Clark in the first team it was always going to be tough for Frank to make a breakthrough and in the end he left Parkhead for Carlisle in August 1967 after failing to make a further first team appearance.

Sadly his football career was brought to an end soon afterwards when he suffered a serious leg break.

His son played for Montrose against Celtic in the Scottish Cup in Jan 1992
