    Dalglish

    From everything I have gathered from speaking to people and reading about the club and its players . Both my Uncles insist Dalglish was the most talented player they saw. Grandad and a few others have said Murdoch was the complete footballer. Jinky speaks for himself. Mcgrain , Mcneill, Mcstay, Lennox, Larsson special mentions.

    Liverpool signed Dalglish from us to replace their star player Kevin Keegan after a few weeks they were saying who is Keegan?

    Have to cheat and give McGrory and Jinky a tie for top spot.
    Then any 2 off McNeil, Dalglish, Lennox,McGrain,Murdoch,McStay,Burns, Larsson and any others I have missed.

    Quite surprised to see I'm first to shout McGrory to be in there though his record for us was amazing

    Apart from the usual suspects - jinky etc

    Sean Fallon - Solid player, loyal to Celtic throughout his life, kin legend of a man!

    Joe Mcbride - Super Joe, the forgotten lion who was seemingly a phenominal player up until his injury 67.

    George Connelly - Scored the goal against Leeds Ellend road, earmarked as the new Billy Mcneil, seemingly an amazing player, scored in the cup final, as the song says he ringed that orange * Greg and the ball was in the net. Legendary status then jacked the game in.

    Going to do a defensive one becuase they rarely get the credit deserved:

    1. Danny McGrain
    2. Billy McNeill
    3. Tommy Gemmell

    Do you think Packy at his best was better than Boruc or Forster at theirs or is it the sheer length of time he put in top performances?

    I struggled to pick a GK tbh haha.

    I don’t rate Boruc as high as a lot, so many howlers. Forster wasn’t here long enough to warrant the XI imo.

    Went for longevity.

    If you're talking all-time then surely Jimmy McGrory, Alec McNair and Patsy Gallacher would be in contention.

    But of the players I've seen .......

    1) Jimmy Johnstone was the most skillful.

    2) Billy McNeill was a colossus and truly embodied the values of the club.

    3) Danny McGrain because he is one of the few Celts, who could be termed world class and yet he stayed loyal.

    Honourable mentions to Bobby Lennox, Henrik Larsson, Boby Murdoch.

    Kenny Dalglish as a footballer would be in contention, he was world class; but as a person he's a Sunday League substitute.
