Soccer Betting Lines

05/15/2008 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic legend Tommy Burns, 51, died on Thursday morning after losing his long battle with cancer.

The former Scotland international, who played more than 400 games for Celtic between 1975 and 1989, had been diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006.

He also managed Celtic, Kilmarnock and Reading, but returned to Parkhead in 2005 to work as first-team coach.

A statement from the Bhoys read: "Tommy, a true Celtic Legend and wonderful man will be sadly missed by us all.

"Clearly, our thoughts are very much with Tommy's wife Rosemary and his family at this extremely difficult time."
