Scottish professional footballer, Frank McGarvey has died. He died at the age of 66 on January 1, 2023.
In October 2022, McGarvey’s family announced that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His son confirmed the news of his death on social media.
McGarvey played 245 times for the Celtic over five years, scoring 113 goals. In that time, he won two league Championships, two Scottish Cups and a Scottish League Cup.
However, Celtic manager, David Hay decided that Mo Johnson and Brian McClair would be his preferred forward for the 1985-86 season and chose not to offer a contract extension to McGarvey.
In his final game for Celtic, he scored the winning goal six minutes from the end of the 1985 Scottish Cup Final.
