Robert Duffy
A more than capable left-half Bertie Duffy saw his Celtic first team chances limited due to arriving at the club when the Hoops boasted a half-back line of Geatons, Lyon and Paterson.

With such talented competition it was always going to be hard for Bertie to break through at Parkhead after signing for the Bhoys from Lochee Harp in October 1935. The Dundee-born player eventually made his debut in a 3-3 league draw at home to Hamilton in January 1937.

Despite some excellent reserve performances Duffy's first team chances remained limited and he went on to make only four first team appeances. Still a Celtic player on paper he joined the RAF in 1940 and during the war years impressed with several English clubs as a guest, including Newcastle, Rochale and Leeds. He was released by Celtic in 1947.
