Joseph Carruth was a fine centre-forward who was handed the near impossible task of replacing the legendary Jimmy McGrory.
Signed in August 1936 from Petershill Joe made his first team debut in a 3-0 league victory at Falkirk where he helped himself to a goal. Combining strength with no little ingenuity Carruth was a danger to any defence on his day but a serious knee injury and long shifts in at a railway engineering company meant that Joe found it difficult to keep sharp.
Consequently he began to drift from the scene and eventually – after various loan spells - he was freed by the club in January 1945.1945. Joe had played 56 times for Celtic and netted 35 goals.
