Hi,
Would anybody be able to help me find a connection between the founding of Celtic and my g-grandfather Hugh Gillan, born 1857, died 1922 in Yoker?
I have recently got in touch with a cousin, who feels sure that Hugh had some part in the founding of Celtic FC in 1887 with Brother Walfrid. No clues in his obituary or Celtic records.
Apparently two of Hugh's sons, Frank (b1887) and Willie (b1892) also trained with the first team, although I doubt whether this would have been recorded anywhere. Still, would be nice to know...
Unfortunately time and money mean I am stuck in Coventry for this mystery so I would be grateful for any help/suggestions.
Thanks Elsie
