Biog

Andrew Young spent little more than a year at Celtic before going on to enjoy a long career at Raith Rovers.

The Fife-born inside-right had signed for the Bhoys in February 1943 from Steelend Victorias and he made his debut in a Regional League 2-2 draw at home to Hibs on February 12 1944.

A talented and creative attacker Young’s talents were obvious. However his wartime work as a miner in Fife meant it was near impossible for Young to work long shifts down the pit and play for the Bhoys.

Consequently after just three games the gifted Young was allowed to join Raith in September 1945.

Young went on to become one of the Kirkcaldy sides all time greats.
