Fearless Jeremiah Reynolds was a defensive stalwart of the early Cetic.

A coal miner by trade, the Maryhill-born right-back joined the Bhoys in September 1889 after spells with Cowlairs, Hibernian and Carfin Shamrock which also saw him make a guest appearance in a friendly for the Parkhead club.

His competitive debut was a 0-0 Scottish Cup draw with Queen's Park at Celtic Park on September 7th 1889. Exceptionally powerful in the air - he was said to be able to head the ball further than he could kick it! - and as brave as they come Jerry was a popular figure among the Celtic support. He made 99 apearances for Celtic before joining Burnley in May 1895 after a row with the Parkhead committee.

He would return to Celtic in 1911 in an off-field role when he took up the position of press box steward.

Iirc we looked into some basic info on Jerry Reynolds before - Not sure where that info is now.


It wasn't in great detail but it sticks in my mind that Jerry was living at 54 Longford Street,Carntyne when he died and he had a bust up with the Celtic Committee when he stuck up for Dan Doyle after a game possibly at Stoke.

Although he is at Rest in an unmarked grave we do know where it is in Dalbeth.
