A statue of Tommy Gemmell has been unveiled in Craigneuk, North Lanarkshire

A statue of Celtic and Scotland legend Tommy Gemmell has been unveiled in his home town of Craigneuk in North Lanarkshire.

Gemmell was a member of the Lisbon Lions side that won the European Cup in 1967 and scored in the final victory over Internazionale.

He also scored in the 1970 final, which Celtic lost to Dutch side Feyenoord, and spent a decade at the club between 1961 and 1971.

Gemmell, who gained 18 caps for Scotland, died at the age of 73 in 2017.

His wife, Mary said the statue, designed by artist Andy Edwards "took her breath away".

She added: "This has always been about more than a statue. It's about bringing Tommy home and celebrating him in the community he loved so much.

"I can't thank everyone enough for the support, the fundraising and the kindness shown throughout this whole journey."

Gemmell played more than 240 games for Celtic, winning 15 major honours

The memorial was driven by the Tommy Gemmell Project Committee with support from the local authority.
