A CELTIC fan group has paid tribute to tragic Hoops fan Reamonn Gormley on what would have been his 26th birthday.
The Thai Tims, who are a cult hit with fans after picking up English by
learning to sing Celtic songs, said the popular Blantyre lad is "always in their thoughts".

Reamonn was knifed to death while walking home from a pub in Blantyre in 2011.
He was stabbed three times for refusing to hand over his wallet and mobile phone.
Daryn Maxwell, 23, was jailed for 19 years for the murder while Barry Smith, 19, was locked up for eight years and three months after pleading guilty to culpable homicide.
Student Reamonn, who was just 19 when he died, taught kids in
Thailand for three months while travelling during a gap year in 2010.
The Thai Tims shared in image of Reamonn on their social media and said: "Reamonn Gormley would have been 26 today. Always in our thoughts. You Never Walk Alone."
Fans responded in their hundreds to the poignant tribute.
Pat Burn said on the social media website Twitter: "A wonderful boy, doing wonderful work, taken from us. Our thoughts and prayers with his family, friends and 'his' Thai Tims."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
