Former Celtic Football Club manager Jozef Venglos has died aged 84
The ex-Celtic boss, Dr Jozef Venglos, has died at the age of 84, the Scottish Premiership club have announced.
The Slovakian was boss for the Hoops in Glasgow during 1998-99, and was known as the man who brought club legend Lubomir Moravcik to Parkhead.
