Tough-tackling full back Jimmy McGuire was signed by Celtic in August 1948.

The Plains-born defender was brought to Parkhead after being freed by Aberdeen. He made his first team debut in a league tie with Hibernian on October 30th which Celtic won 2-1.

McGuire’s robust approach to defending didn’t really fit well with Celtic’s more aesthetic approach to the game and his uncompromising tackles were so fierce that he was nicknamed ‘Killer’ by the support. Jimmy made a total of 18 appearances for Celtic before being released in 1950 when he went on to join Shamrock Rovers in Ireland.
