Clark’s passing at the age of 84 marks the end of a remarkable seven decades that began with his debut in 1959 and reached its zenith in Lisbon in 1967. He played and coached at Celtic before becoming the kitman.
Celtic fans then gathered on the Celtic Way to pay their respects as the Lisbon Lion made one last journey through Parkhead.
Later, the Celtic players will head to Glasgow’s south side to face Queens Park as they kick off pre-season.
