Glasgow-born football star Frank McDougall has been described as a "local legend" by a member of one of his old city clubs. 

Glasgow Perthshire, a former club of McDougall's, will be holding a minute silence this weekend to mark their respect for the striker.

Shaun Redmond, match secretary at Glasgow Perthshire, touched on the impact the former St Mirren and Aberdeen star had on the club and how a move to Renfrewshire created an ever-lasting legacy in North Glasgow.

It was announced on Sunday McDougall sadly passed away at the age of 65 after he was diagnosed with lung cancer last year.

Speaking exclusively to the Glasgow Times, Shaun said: "He was an amazing striker and was always a joy to watch on the pitch.

"As a young football fan, my memories were primarily of his time at Aberdeen, where he is still revered as a top striker...only injury robbed him of showing his talents over a longer period and no doubt adding to his medal collection.

"His tie with Glasgow Perthshire rolls back to the 70s where after a hugely successful period doing what, well...what Frank has always done, he moved on to Clydebank.

"He then moved onto St Mirren and as part of the transfer Glasgow Perthshire FC received a fee.

"The money from that fee allowed the club to rip up the black ash pitch and replace it with grass, something that is still here today.

"Frank left a legacy here at Perthshire as he allowed the club to move forward."

McDougall had close ties to Shaun's family as he played with his uncle, Billy Henderson, who was a teammate and friend.

This relationship allowed Shaun to learn more about his uncle as a player and also form a relationship with Frank that saw the striker get right behind club initiatives.

And Shaun revealed recently that the former footballer was very eager to help in their Community Membership Cards Scheme that looked to get home fans in for free.

Shaun said: "Following a meeting, myself and others from the committee went for a chat and a beer in our local Balmore Bar.

"As soon as I opened the door Frank was sitting to my left, I genuinely could not believe this.

"I asked if we could have a chat and he was obliging immediately.

"I introduced myself and the others and he was immediately telling us stories of his time at the club which was an absolute pleasure to hear.

"What followed was Frank supporting and coming to the club to help our Community Membership Cards Scheme with free entry to all home support.

"He was absolutely tremendous in his support giving up his time 

"He was a real people person and he will be sorely missed. The game will be an emotional one but one that we want to dedicate to Frank."
