Kilmarnock keeper John Hunter played 17 Regional League games for Celtic as a wartime loan signing.

The Coatbridge-born custodian signed for the Bhoys on May 17th 1941 and played his first game for the club on May 21 at Hampden as Celtic defeated Queen’s Park 5-2 in the Charity Cup.

A more than able keeper John combined playing football with nightshifts at a factory and he would turn out for teams just hours after finishing a shift.
By the start of 1942 he had moved on from Parkhead and would serve in the navy before returning to Kilmarnock in 1945.
