Raymond McStay has revealed that his dad had one Celtic jersey on the wall- Kieran Tierney’s.
John McStay passed away on Friday after supplying the hoops with his three sons while spending a lifetime supporting and scouting the club he loved.
Lanarkshire was the area that he knew best with the Larkhall based scout first to pick out the kid from Wishaw that could play a bit.
@celticfc Only one Celtic jersey made it on his wall and it wasn’t any of ours! Thanks for your lovely tribute.

Tierney’s development has been well documented from the hopeful kid through to youth team player into a mainstay of Brendan Rodgers treble winning squad.
Despite regular reports of interest from English clubs, recently including Manchester United and Liverpool, Tierney hasn’t courted attention or transfer speculation.
Like the McStay’s, KT has no intention of detaching himself from his roots and retains the same pals and patterns that he enjoyed before making the big time.
As well as providing Celtic with Willie, Paul and Raymond John’s oldest grandson, also John is on the coaching staff of the Celtic academy.
