Scottish footballer
George McKinley Cassidy McCluskey (born 19 September 1957) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who played as a forward for Celtic, Leeds United, Hibernian, Hamilton Academical, Kilmarnock and Clyde. He represented Scotland up to under-21 level.
While with Celtic (his childhood and formative team and longest spell as a professional at eight seasons, otherwise spending two or three years at each club), he scored the winning goal in the 1980 Scottish Cup Final[2][3] and won three Scottish League titles (1978–79, 1980–81 and 1981–82),[4] scoring in the decisive last-day fixtures in 1979[5] and 1982[6] and finishing as top goalscorer in the latter season.[7] In the autumn of his career in 1993, he helped Kilmarnock[8] (managed by his Celtic teammate and friend Tommy Burns) gain promotion to the top tier from the First Division, where they remained for 28 years.
McCluskey is now a coach at Celtic's Youth Academy.[9]
