    I loved the big man but he was undoubtedly a weak like in that great side.
    He must have loved it though went from being a brickie to playing with Lubo and Larsson.

    Always going to be one of those players that was just below world class.

    Dunno mate, at the time i had him down as probably the best keeper in the world, or at least on par with Oliver Kahn, Buffon, Iker C ect

    I’d no idea he was 6 foot 5.

    There’s absolutely no need to be sarcastic, V.

    What was the story with him? He's routinely criticized as a weak link of an otherwise great Celtic team; was he as bad as most say he is, or was he a good player on a very special team?

    Where does he compare with the likes of Gordon, or Boruc? (Current & succeeding keeper, not comparing the two).

    He was a bit below Gordon, and nowhere near Boruc. A decent keeper in a very good Celtic team.

    He’s over 40, when the spine begins to shorter, so no longer 6ft5.

    Watching the replay of the 3-3 old firm game. Douglas cost us this game. Turned out to be one of the major reasons we lost the league that year. If only we had had a decent keeper that year...
