so many players,so many generations.

MINE.....

Kenny Dalglish.......I remember his greatness unfortunately for Liverpool and Scotland,and not Celtic I was just too young.

Larson,,,,,,,,, Just behind Dalglish
Davie Hay,,,,,,,The hardest and toughest
McGrain,,,,,,,, The best full back I ever saw
Murdoch,,,,,,, Best passer of a ball ever to pull on a celtic top
Lennox,,,,,,,,, Fastest cnut ever to play for Celtic


Seen them all many, many times and IF we could have any one of them back tomorrow in their prime it would be Jinky and they would need to build another tier on the stadium

I was also in the celtic section of the main stand at ibrox for the 4-4 draw in '86(remember that? we used to get the broomloan, an entire standing enclosure and a quarter of the old stand! They couldnae sell all their tickets).
My abiding memories of this game are Murdo's leveller and willie mcstay kicking kevin (ted) mcminn high into the air right in front of the celtic enclosure. Willie got a red card as well as the loudest cheer of the day.
We were back at ibrox a couple of months later for a glasgow cup final- which we lost- but we had just snatched the league so we didn't care and it was our first chance to yell our variation of souness at the new hun boss. P*nis P*nis.
