A Celtic fan who drove a Hillman Imp from Scotland to Lisbon ahead of their historic European Cup final in 1967 has died aged 81.

"It's fair to say we also had a great laugh with him and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have got know him and spend time with him and his family.Tributes were paid to McGuire on social media.
