Biog

Alex Mathie came through the youth system at Celtic Park and signed professional terms with the Bhoys in May 1987.

Capable of playing up front or outwide the Bathgate-born player made his first team debut as a sub in a 2-1 home league defeat to Motherwell on February 11th 1989. He would make irregular appearances for the Bhoys after that but never showed enough to suggest he had a long term future at Parkhead.

He departed in August 1991 to Morton where his impressive form prompted Kevin Keegan to take him to Newcastle. He later enjoyed a successful spell at Ipswich before moving on to Dundee United and York City.
