Yeah. Smith was manager. Burns was assistant and McCoist was strikers coach.

I found the pictures on here very moving:

Tommy Burns Funeral

McCoist seems to be in bits in one of them, definitely shows the high esteem he is held in.
Then I came on here and foolishly read the Aiden McGeady thread, where one of the best products of Tommy Burns endless hard work with the Celtic youth system was once again getting slated to bits. I couldn't even be bothered replying to it

His performances in a green jersey have been poor you can't really argue with that, other than that he has been great.

Celtic TV had a good program on last night, interviewed alot of players, Aiden was very emotional suppose he knew him from the age of 12. It's a wonder with Tommy's influence on Aiden's game he decided to declare for Ireland and not Scotland.

Delighted to see Celtic winning the league for Tommy. was watching the Celebrations last night and one of the players (cant remember which one) ran to the crowd and started them chanting Tommy's name. It was really nice to see a Player do that fair play

That was Lee Naylor just after Celtic got the trophy.
