Robert "Bertie" Auld (born March 23, 1938 ) is a former Scottish football player .

Bertie Auld switched to Celtic in March 1955, but did not make any progress, mainly because of his lack of discipline and his idiosyncratic character. After several shorter loan deals with smaller clubs, he moved to Birmingham City in 1961 , where he won the League Cup in 1963.

He returned to Celtic in 1965, presumably as a result of Jock Stein's aspirations , and spent most of his playing career with the club.

The midfield became one of the most important elements of the Celtic game through the effective collaboration between him and Bobby Murdoch .

He was an integral part of the team that won the Scottish Championship nine times and the European Cup against Inter Milan in 1967 , which is why the players were later called the Lisbon Lions (after the location of the European Cup final).

It was Bertie Auld who sang the Celtic song in the catacombs of the Lisbon stadium before the start of the game - much to the amusement of the Inter players.

In 1971, Auld left Celtic and joined Hibernian Edinburgh .

After the end of his playing career he worked as a coach for Partick Thistle , Hibernian Edinburgh and FC Dumbarton . He also worked for Hamilton Academical .

The former midfielder is now a regular guest on the official Celtic television channel Celtic TV . He is known for his choleric tendencies and for his stubborn way of commenting on club affairs.

1959 Bertie Auld played three times for the Scottish senior team .
