Former Celtic player dies By Josh Gaffney of celtictalk FORMER Celtic player Gil Heron has died at the age of 87. He passed away in a nursing home in Detroit on Thursday, November 27. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Gil had been playing in the United States and was invited to Scotland and took part in a public trial at Celtic Park on August 4, 1951, scoring twice in the game. It was enough to impress the club who signed him and he made his debut on August 18, 1951 in a League Cup tie against Morton at Celtic Park. He scored once in a 2-0 victory. He stayed a year at Celtic, making five appearances and scoring two goals before joining Third Lanark. He eventually returned to the United States, settling in Detroit. He was also the father of famous jazz musician, Gil Scott-Heron. This intel first appeared on: http://celtictalk.org/celtictalk-news-f68-former-celtic-player-dies...
