And he secured his status as a Hoops hero in part by scoring 122 goals in 198 appearances in all competitions.
While he also helped the Parkhead club win the Scottish Cup in 1985 before clinching the league title a year later.
After leaving Celtic, McClair spent 11 years at Manchester United where he went on to win four Premier League titles.
He also got his hands on two FA Cups and a League Cup, alongside the European Cup Winners’ Cup and European Super Cup.
At international level, the former striker earned 30 caps for Scotland and represented his country at Euro 92.
Since retiring as a player at Motherwell in 1998, McClair worked as the No2 at Blackburn Rovers before eventually becoming Man United’s youth academy director.

He returned to Scotland in 2015 to become the SFA’s national performance director and stayed in the post until the following year.
Now the host of the Life with Brian podcast, McClair looks a lot different from his days at Celtic.
Where he was known for having long brown hair and a clean shaven face, he can now be seen sporting a full grey beard on his shows.
While he also has much shorter hair these days as well.

Looking back on his playing career, McClair admits it was a dream come true for him to play for Celtic.
And he still has fond memories of the league title win in 1986.
He told World Football Index last year: “It was a dream come true to play for Celtic. I had a wonderful time at the club from start to finish.

“I was top goal scorer in every year that I played with the club.
“We won Scottish Cup in 1985 against Dundee United who were a top side under legendary manager Jim McLean at that time.
“The most memorable time was the title win in 1986 at Love Street, wonderful times.
“As a team, we put in a perfect performance that day.”
