An icon of Scottish football, Bertie played for the club from 1971 to 1973 and later took on the managerial role at Easter Road in 1980.
As Hibs manager, he guided the club to the First Division title in 1980/81. As a player, he is remembered for an incredible career with Celtic, Birmingham City and, finally, Hibernian. He was also capped three times for Scotland.
His playing career at Celtic saw him lift 15 trophies, including the European Cup in 1967 as Jock Stein’s famous “Lisbon Lions” became the first British team to win the competition.
Bertie had successful spells as a manager with Partick Thistle, Hibs, Hamilton and Dumbarton.
A brilliant man with a huge personality, he was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2009.
Everyone at Hibernian Football Club sends their condolences to Bertie’s family and loved ones at this time.
