Lodged by George Adam (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament expresses its sadness at the passing of the St Mirren FC Scottish Cup winning captain, Billy Abercromby, at the age of 65; recognises that he famously led St Mirren FC to its third Scottish Cup triumph in 1987 and was part of the club’s First Division title winning side in 1976-77 and Anglo Scottish Cup winning side of 1980; notes that, as a St Mirren FC Hall of Fame inductee, Billy began his career at the club in 1975; further notes that Billy spent 13 seasons in Paisley, becoming a fans’ favourite with his tough-tackling, no-nonsense style, with 367 appearances for St Mirren FC, and expresses its condolences to his family and friends at this sad time.
