Players Who Never Played a Game M – Z

Ray McStay, 1993Any footballer signed up and ready to play for Celtic, is of itself tribute to their skill and dedication. These Celts have earned the right of inclusion in our hall of fame.

Some like James P McGuire, a Scottish schoolboy cap went on to great things, becoming President of the US Soccer Football Association and a member of the FIFA Organizing Committee for the 1974 World Cup in West Germany. Other like John Burns were simply unlucky that the boss didn’t fancy them. He was in the pub when teetotaler Willie Maley visited his home!

But they all have a story to tell, like those who were simply unfortunate to have been in playing positions held by all-time greats, especially in the years when there were no substitutes. Some were unlucky through injury, and some moved on to first team honours with other clubs.

But all were Celts who wore the hoops and deserve recognition as such.

Pat O’Hara 1963-64 1963-64 Tommy O’Hara’s older brother Pat was on Celtic’s groundstaff in 1963. Farmed out to Maryhill and later Glenafton, Shotts Bon Accord, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy and Shettleston. Lacked sufficient pace to be a senior and gradually drifted backwards from left winger to left midfield to left back. Despite his lack of pace he read the game brilliantly and passed the ball with great accuracy. Capped several times for Junior Scotland while with Rob Roy and Shettleston. Last heard of playing amateur football in his native Uddingston in the late 1980s. Sported a goatee beard.

However, he remained a reserve. Although selected for the 1931 tour of the USA and Canada, he seems to have been released before the party embarked. Later played for Cercle Athletique de Paris.
