Muirkirk-born Jimmy Weir was a former Ayr United defender who first played for Celtic as a trialist in a 1-1 league draw with St Mirren at Parkhead on April 27 1907.
He signed with the Hoops in May that year and quickly established himself as the first choice left-back. A fully committed defender Jimmy was a strong tackler but in those days of more robust football he would often get as good as he gave and he did so without complaint. A key player in the 1908 league and Scottish Cup double triumph, Jimmy was a strong and resilient defender who offered forwards little opportunity to shine. Hard working and exceptionally fit he played eight games in 11 days as Celtic took the 1909 league flag.
Jimmy’s commitment, drive and ability made him a fans’ favourite and although out of favour by the start of the 1910-11 season it was with a heavy heart that the Celtic support bid farewell to the Ayrshire man as he departed for Middlesbrough in August 1910. Jimmy Weir played 96 games for Celtic and scored one goal.
