The motion

That the Parliament notes the sad passing of Celtic and Scotland legend, Jimmy Johnstone, whose footballing skill and trickery entertained and amazed thousands of football fans worldwide; further notes that Johnstone was a cornerstone of the first British team to win the European Cup and that Celtic fans bestowed on him the honour of being named Celtic’s greatest-ever player; notes that Johnstone also became a strong campaigner for raising awareness of motor neurone disease, and hopes that his campaign will continue to tackle this crippling disease.
