made by the then Celtic managing director and majority shareholder Fergus McCann concerning the registration of Portuguese player Jorge Cadete in 1996. A player must be registered with the SFA before he is permitted to play in matches in Scotland. A delay in the registration had forced Cadete to miss a Scottish Cup semi-final against their Old Firm rivals Rangers, which Celtic lost 2–1. McCann claimed that the delay was deliberate and the commission ruled in his favour. On 8 March 1999, Farry was sacked for gross misconduct. Life after football As of 2009, Farry was employed as a business development manager by medium-sized construction and refurbishment firm AKP Scotland, based in East Kilbride. He was also a patron of Cambuslang Rugby Club. Following a massive heart attack in his home in Cambuslang, Farry died on 10 November 2010 in Hairmyres Hospital, East Kilbride, shortly afterwards. He was survived by his wife and two children.
