A spokesperson for Celtic Football Club said: “Clearly, we are stunned by the sudden passing of Monsignor Gemmell, a man who was a great supporter of Celtic and someone well known to the club.
“The thoughts of everyone at Celtic are with Monsignor Gemmell's relatives, friends, colleagues and congregation at this very difficult time.”
I met David Gemmell whilst I was a pupil at St. Tam's in Edinburgh. I must say he made quite an impression on me, he was an honest, sincere, happy & inspiring man and I was so saddened to hear the news, rest in peace, you will be sorely missed.

We are stunned and saddened at the news of Father David's passing. Upon our arrival in Edinburgh, he welcomed us into the St Mary's family like we were family. He had this way of getting us involved when we might not ordinarily do so, but found ourselves involved happily anyway. We would do anything for him! He told me he liked to hike Arthur's Seat in the mornings to watch the sun rise and pray. I often think of him doing that. My son and I would go to 7am mass before rugby matches and Father David would smile at us from the altar, knowing we were bearly awake. We still smile remembering some of things he said, those Sunday mornings at mass, or the few experiences we had with him.
We will miss him greatly. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We've lost a truly great man.
