European Cup finalist Williams dies aged 81

Former Celtic goalkeeper and 1970 European Cup finalist, Evan Williams, has died at the age of 81.

The shot-stopper won four league titles and two Scottish Cups during his five-year spell at the club, and started in goal in Celtic's European Cup final defeat by Feyenoord.

He made 148 appearances for Celtic after signing from Wolves in 1969, and played for Clyde and Stranraer after leaving the club in 1974.

In a statement, Celtic said: "In his later years and after his retirement from football, Evan was a regular at Celtic Park on matchdays and he will be greatly missed by everyone around the club.

"The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic are with Evan's friends and family at this sad time."
