Things didn't go well.  He just passed away.

Super sad.  He was one of my favorites from the Youth Movement years.  I met him at King's bowling alley...I remember looking over and seeing a silhouette profile that looked just like Justin Reed shooting a free throw.  I went over and it was him and we chatted for a few minutes.

And easily my favorite Miracle Johan song of that era: https://miraclejohan.bandcamp.com/track/dont-wake-me-up-justin-reed (https://miraclejohan.bandcamp.com/track/dont-wake-me-up-justin-reed)

RIP, Justin.

Very sad to hear.  I feel terrible for his family.  I will remember Justin for his scrappy play during the short time that he was a Celtic.  I always loved the reaction from Tommy after Justin drew a charge or fought for a loose ball.
