DRB: Bonner
Mcgrain. McNeil. VanDyke. Lynch
McStay. Brown.
Jinky. Dalgliesh. Provan.
Larsson

This is just me having a quick look back over the years.
If you had time you could easily put together 10 teams each with e Celtic legend in it. OUR UNBROKEN HISTORY is littered with players who could get in any team in any league any day.

Love the idea DRB but extremely difficult to do, so I will just throw a few spanners in for fun.
As much as I love Broony I don't think he would hold a candle to the likes of Davie Hay or George Connolly for eg.
Roy Aitken MUST be in there even tho I was a huge fan of Elliott,
The bear could simply win a game for us by getting others to respond.
If Larsson starts (I know lol) then Sutton must be with him as I think they come as a pair.
All due respect to Charlie Nicholas and Dixie Deans tho as they were special too.
Its says everything about KT that I can't think of another LB that's better than him.
I sure others will think of players I haven't thought of.

Cprs cheating sticking a couple of Lions in there. Can't believe I forgot Dalglish.

11 Nov 2016 19:31:09
I am going with the best I have seen play.

Bonner

Jack mac
Reiper
Mjallby
Teirney

Mcstay
Collins
Nakamura
Lubo

Larsson
Hartson.

{Ed007's Note - I think it's a bit much to have Tierney in there before someone like Tom Boyd.}

The whole issue is (time- Era`s) .

The 1 thing that is consistent. Celtic have players in team that are known the world over. the list is endless

We are Celtic

#WHATATEAM.

Cant believe I forgot Di Canio what a player.

11 Nov 2016 23:16:23
I always liked tosh mckinlay at LB what a cross he had in him but it has to be Mr dependable tom boyd.

12 Nov 2016 06:22:26
I'm with you Rayman, I have been watching celtic since the start of the 80s and LB and GK were always trouble positions for us. For that reason I went for Forster and Tierney. I know Tierney has not done much at celtic yet but I can honestly say he is the best defending LB I have seen at the club and isn't too shabby going forward.

12 Nov 2016 08:47:38
I have seen some good full backs at celtic ed007.
Boyd
Tosh
Mahe but I rate Tierney as good if not better than them.

{Ed007's Note - So if KT never kicks another ball for Celtic you'd rate him higher than a guy that captained the Club and played over 350 games for us over an 11 year period?
Tom Boyd is a Celtic legend and should be in there before a 19 yr old kid with 52 games under his belt, you're doing Boyd a massive disservice here imo and you're letting your heart rule you head. KT has the potential to be a Celtic great - which Boyd already is - but to suggest that he's the best LB since The Lions is ludicrous.}

12 Nov 2016 12:15:29
It is my opinion that Tierney is as good a full bacK in I have seen at parkhead.
If you reread my post I said I was picking from players I had seeno not since the lions.

{Ed007's Note -The OP asked for players since The Lions and it would be a bit absurd to pick players you haven't seen but it still doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm sure if we asked the same question back in 2005 some people would have picked McGeady in their team.}

12 Nov 2016 12:53:07
It's all about opinions
A lot of putility Paul elliot in and he only had two seasons at Parkhead.
And truth be told I'd have Tosh mckinley before boyd.

{Ed007's Note - OK then, good for you.}

I agree Ed that Boyd is a Celtic legend as he was the captain of the team that stopped 10 in a row. However, I thought LB position was the weakness in our team for a number of years, as was the GK position. Boyd was probably the best of a bad bunch over the years but there was no denying his love of commitment to Celtic.

Until Izaguirre and Boruc, I had never seen a top quality GK or LB at Celtic and this dated back to start of the 80s. In my opinion Tierney is the best LB Celtic have had since Gemmell and I reckon big Forster was the best GK Celtic have ever had (GK were terrible up until the 80s) . Now I know that others may not share my opinions but that is how I see it.
