Tully had by this time left, his July to July contract having expired. Bertie Auld was told not to turn up and was in a sort of disgrace having been sent off in the international between Holland and Scotland during the closed season.

Rare Celtic team group pic before the game at Starks Park against Raith Rovers on 8 August 1959. Most are recognisable but three hard ones to name in the front row. Big Billy is just a boy.
