Plans are in place to paint silhouettes of Jimmy Johnstone on a number of Gable ends across Glasgow.
One image of the winger with the ball at his feet and trademark number seven shorts has already appeared with other tributes planned.
There is only one person with this as a sweatshirt who is a cracking guy @EdenMill_Chiara

On the building we might put Jimmy on Gable ends all over the city what do you think let us know @PaulDykes @McGillIntSports @07503Kenny @StRochsJuniors pic.twitter.com/XvdFJh09Fm— Jimmy Johnstone Academy Charitable Trust? (@JJAGlasgow) April 29, 2020
Formed in honour of the legendary Celtic winger the Jimmy Johnstone Academy is based at Third Lanark’s Cathkin Park which has been restored with Club Rooms, grass pitch and even a section of the old terracing restored.
Various former Celt’s including former team-mates of Jinky have visited the premises to offer their support as the memory of the Uddingston born winger is carried on among boys who weren’t even born when he died from Motor Neurone Disease in 2006.
Johnstone was a ball-boy at Celtic before turning professional, starring in the 1967 European Cup Final and playing throughout the original 9-in-a-row run of success under Jock Stein.
