Funeral Mass for Celtic legend, John Clark…
Celtic Legend John Clark to Receive Final Farewell at Parkhead Funeral Mass
The Celtic family will gather in solemn tribute as a Funeral Mass for legendary defender John Clark is set to take place this week. The ceremony, a heartfelt farewell to one of the club’s most revered figures, will be held at St. Mary’s Church in Calton, Glasgow — fittingly close to Celtic Park, where Clark built his iconic legacy.
A key member of the historic Lisbon Lions squad that won the European Cup in 1967, Clark’s passing at the age of 83 marks the end of an era. The Funeral Mass is expected to be attended by former teammates, club officials, and countless fans who admired his humility, consistency, and unwavering loyalty to the green and white.
Celtic have confirmed that a commemorative procession will pass Celtic Park prior to the service, allowing supporters a final moment to pay respects. Inside the stadium and online, tributes have poured in, remembering Clark not only for his footballing excellence but for his decades of service as kit man and club ambassador.
John Clark’s legacy lives on in every corner of Celtic history. The club, city, and fans now prepare to say a final, emotional goodbye.
