    Really took the club and our ethos to heart when he was here too, really likeable big guy.

    There's a few but for me the one that stands out is Lubo (signed earlier) also Henrik (wish he ended his career here) although I can't blame Henrik for leaving Barca at the time were a great side.

    Giving away your age there. My da says he was a great player. I would say all the guys that went to that massive English team........... Southampton. They must love a relegation battle. Wonder how Armstrong feels sitting on the bench watching his team lose most weeks when he could be winning leagues and cups and playing in European games in front of 60000. I suppose the money helps.

    lol lol aye, Connolly was destined to be a club great the natural successor to big Billy, another great who should have had longer at Celtic was the late great Bobby Murdoch...sheer class.... a master

    Given the way things worked out for him after he left I imagine if he had it all to do over again he would have stayed. Was brilliant for us when he was here.

    Brad Fridiel never played for us mate..

    Stuart Kerr was a very limited GK too.

    Brad Friedel was in on trial, was in the same squad alongside Bonner, Gordon Marshall, Stewart * Kerr and Seamus Given.

    We tried to sign him during it, but never got a work permit.

    Craig Bellamy is one of the biggest ones for me.

    Could have been a legend.

    This one isnt technically the same but - Juninho. I wish we had signed him under the likes of Lennon or a different manager from MON. Imagine him in this modern style of play.

    A minor one-

    Sanchez Broto in goals, he was a better option than Douglas in that era.
    Numpty thought he’d leave and go onto better things.... he didn’t.

    Of the ones I think left just too quick.

    Elliot
    Cadete
    Di Canio
    Van Dijk

    Not counting loans like Bellamy nor one's we missed such as De La Pena, Friedel, Given.

    Too young really to understand around time Nicholas left too.

    Bellamy. His loan stint just wasn't enough. Could've become a club legend here

    We hate Souness more than you!

    Yeah Charlie Nicholas is a great shout. Should never have been allowed to leave first time around.

    Big Pierre another one.
