Could T Bonnar be a relative of John Bonnar?

Thomas Bonnar who was my g/grandfather,now i have a pic dated 1896 listed him as the trainer and from this site i heard there was a story in the 1895 daily record that mentioned him.

I visited the Mitchell library yesterday and found the story and it has him listed as a groundsman,i contacted celtic fc who told me that they have the book with the 1896 pic but that's all they have on him as they lost everything but the cups in a fire in 1927,they have asked me to send them the story from the record dated 1895 then they would give me something as to state that he was part of the celtic family.

I wonder if anybody can shed any more info on Thomas Bonner.
I have the pic & story from the record but don't know how to upload them.

Hi john. If you let me know what date the article from the record was, i can get this uploaded

I will see what i can find out about thomas in the meantime

names of relatives and of course marriage, birth and death years would also be great help
