(celtic webpage on announcement of his death (4th Jan 2008)
FORMER Celtic director James Farrell has died at the age of 86. He passed away in the early hours of today, Friday, January 4.

Mr Farrell was a lawyer by profession who became a Celtic director in 1965, remaining on the board until the early 1990s.

The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic Football Club are with Mr Farrell’s family at this sad time.


Jim Craig "Money could not buy Jimmy [Johnstone]'s talent," said Craig. "He destroyed Terry Cooper, who was England's left-back at the time, when we met Leeds United in the semi-final of the European Cup in 1970. A few years later, we went to Elland Road for a testimonial for Jack Charlton and Jimmy turned it on again. My father-in-law, James Farrell, got a tap on his shoulder during the game. It was Michael Parkinson, who asked `do you see this every weekend?' `Of course', was the reply. `God, you are so lucky,' said Parky."
