So many others could have made the cut I always liked big vega and can also remember big Stan Varga hitting a drive from about forty yards out and the crossbar being hit, the goals were still shaking about half an hour later.

Im sure we have a wealth of years spread across everyone on this site so, let's wake up the grey matter and get your thinking caps on.

Put together your Celtic team. ( plus 2 subs )
Please refrain from just saying "Lisbon Lyons ". to obvious.


Thanks

{Ed007's Note - Have a mess around with our Teams/Formations app here.

Nice one for a fri night. Only prob is I was picking Lubo and leaving out paulo. Picking Virgil and dropping Johan was just to hard. So I found this a lot easier. Kharine tebilly Virgo du Wei scheidt lassad Fernandez Juninho ljunberg miku bangura. Beat that team? No chance ha ha

Nice one ED. Thought of Boyd but Gemmell got in for me for his attacking ability. Elliot? great shout think I was a bit blinded by the Lions there. Sadly the difference in our ages has come into play, LOL . Great pick though.

{Ed007's Note - I've went back and changed Balde for Stubbs, by far one of the best ball-playing CBs we've had in the modern era and I forgot all about him. I never pick any the Lions in teams, I can't remember any them or players like Dalglish from his time at Celtic.}

Based mine on players in my lifetime I've seen:

Boruc

McKinley
Agathe
Balde
Mjalby

Moravcik
Thompson
Brown
Wanyama

Larsson
Van Hooijdonk

Boruc

Lustig
Mjalby
Balde
Agathe

Nakamura
Brown
Lennon
Moravcik

Larsson
Sutton

Manager: Gordon Strachan

My best team from the players (& managers) I can remember.

Ed that's why I never even started. I'd have been changing all night ha ha. Would've totally forgot bout naka and would've been wanting to change to include him. But one of the first names on my team would've been Stan I thiink best midfielder I've seen in the hoops

{Ed007's Note - It was a toss-up between Petrov or Brown for me and Brown just edged it simply because he's still here and is finally getting the recognition he deserves.}

@ED007; I seen my first game in 1966 v Aberdeen so the Lions are a bit sketchy for me but the ones I put in I remember clearly. Murdoch, the best passer of a ball I have ever seen. McNeill, who had weaknesses but with Clark was a formidable pairing. Davie Hay because I saw him cementing greig at Celtic Park! Hardest player I ever saw in a Celtic shirt.

{Ed007's Note - Auld git!}

I would agree with eds selection apart from two changes, McKinley for Boyd, cadete for Nicholas

@ED007; Sadly I have to agree as my kids are now calling me Victorian Dad!

{Ed007's Note - I remember him from Viz.}

@ED: Good spot mate. remember Bodley Basin. the strict freemason? from the days when it was really funny. That and Not the View were essential reading for away games, loved NTV and It came from Ibrox jokes. brilliant.

{Ed007's Note - I was trying to think of his name lol We're showing both our ages here.}

Simpson, McGrain, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeil, Connolly,
Johnstone, Dalgliesh, Larsson, Moravcik,
Tully.SubsBrown, Lennon

Aye, the Viz mag used to be hilarious. My fav after Sid, fat slags and biffa (who still appear) was full mental jacket who had watched too many Vietnam war movies and thought he was in nam and everyone was a Vietnam gook. Other mentionable were big Vern. Never could get into billy the fish though. I also loved to get the uni mag every year ygorra. great jokes

{Ed007's Note - Was Everard Headbutt - Hard As F**k, in Viz or was it Smut? He wore a rip-off of the 'Feed the World' T-shirt saying 'F**k the World' that my mam would never let me use her credit card to buy one. Terry F**kwit, Roger Mellie the man on the telly, and Bustar Gonad and his unfeasibly large testicles are all classics and were funny as hell.
I vaguely remember Channel 4 making some cartoons with Viz characters, some of them were wild, a black bag that solved mysteries on the moors (??) and Billy the Fish was like a bad trip, Roy of the Rovers on acid!}
