    A top bloke& he will be missed.
    Saw him earlier this month as he helped me out with tickets. Even though he knew his time was very short, he kept turning up to help people out.
    Told me he would see about “hanging around” to see me at beginning of January.
    Condolences to his family. RIP.

    Devastating, awful news, he was a really top guy. I've only got good things to say about him. Like many others he helped me get tickets for matches on several occasions and was a complete gentleman. First met him at a TC meet up in Bar 67 back in 2012 to celebrate us winning the league. We've lost one of the truly good guys and a right good tim, rest in peace Alec.

    R.I.P Alec. A nicer gentleman i could never meet, only had the pleasure to meet him briefly as he was kind enough to help me and my family out with tickets last year. He was very helpful to us and had a handful of envelopes with tickets for others also. Alec must have helped thousands of fans create memories and I was very grateful to be one of them.

    Although I’m not a regular poster now, was just thinking a few weeks ago that you never see the old regulars like Lion, Marie and yourself posting much anymore. This site was a big part of my life for a few years and you wonder what everybody gets up to in their personal lives when your s regular here.

    Glad to hear Alec was still doing his bit for the cause even in poor health, he really was a 100% gentleman and a 1000% Celtic man.

    Not been on in a while, seeing this news really hit home the community and words of wisdom (and some less wise) shared on this site.

    Alec was such a top man. Never met him personally but his efforts to help out fellow Tims were impossible to ignore.

    RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

    Never had the pleasure to meet him personally but came across as one of life's good guys who went
    out his way to help others in their hour of need.
    Will be sadly missed by a lot of people and my condolences to his family and friends.

    One of life's genuine gentlemen. That's knocked the stuffing out of me.

    Rest in peace Alec.

    Ahh *, Alec was a gentleman. First ever CL ticket I got was through Alec, I was skint, didn’t know him from Adam. Was a wee guy, he gave me it through talking on here and said don’t worry.

    I said I’d pay full price, and he said didn’t matter, and I assured him of it. And then I couldn’t for a long time and he didn’t bring that up. I did eventually but not when I’d telt him. I was a wee boy at that point, and embarrassed, and he was a gentleman.

    just a small example of the character of the man that, he went out of his way for anyone. A man to be admired, a man that left ripples in his life as an example. RIP Alec, one of lifes good people.
