Celtic mourn loss of Lisbon Lion Chalmers

Celtic are mourning the loss of a second Lisbon Lion inside a week following the death of Stevie Chalmers, the man who scored their 1967 European Cup winner. Chalmers has died at the age of 83, less than a week after his former team-mate and captain, Billy McNeill.
