Kenny Dalglish is among those to have paid tribute to former Celtic player Pat McCluskey, who has died at age 68.

McCluskey, a defender and midfielder, made his Celtic bow in 1972 and won six domestic honours, with his 191 games including two European Cup semi-finals.

The Scotland Under-23 cap had spells with Dumbarton and Airdrieonians, plus a short stint in America, before ending his career at Queen of the South.

"Gone but never forgotten," wrote Dalglish of his ex-Celtic team-mate.

The Scotland legend added: "Fantastic company as well as a very good player. RIP Paddy."
