    Beautiful Sunday - the IRA version
    Was the 2003 UEFA Cup Final loss to Porto the worst day of your career?

    Yes. We had Porto on the fork - I'd scored two, but we still couldn't win. That was very hard to take. Winning a European trophy with Celtic would have meant so much to us and the fans. There were so many people who travelled without a ticket - they just wanted to be there in Seville to see us win... [pauses with emotion in his voice] but we didn't manage to do it. I still get goosebumps talking about it now. That Porto team went on to win the Champions League. That's testament to how good a team we had that year.

    Love him :49:

    I personally don't want him to manage us as it may sour his special place in our history, but what a player I cried like a big wean on more than one occasion of him leaving.

    Wish i could go back in time and really appreciate the guy and realise how special he was.

    The things you take for granted when you're a wean :54:

    I don't think it will ever happen nor would it be advisable unless he's showing real potential. However, I think our fans would be fair enough to accept he won't be a copy of his Dad.

    Aye, I don't think he'll ever play for us. He'd be under immense pressure from the media, and not just in Scotland.

    Aye. Reading that interview, it seems he already has a huge amount of expectation in Sweden.

    I got emotional just reading that. It brings back so many memories and I still miss him even now.

    Club has a real place in his heart.

    He always gets the same question about playing in Scotland and it is always the same answer. No regrets. People should catch on by now.

    I'm not saying he was at all influenced by the money but, for the time, he was getting paid very handsomely as well, people forget that. Was he not on £50k a week here when Roy Keane was on about £40k at Man United? Sure I read that before.

    Playing well, scoring goals, family settled, big wage, adored by the fans, still your countries best player..what more does a footballer want really?

    His legacy proves he made the correct decision. He will die knowing his name will live on in Celtic folklore forever more.

    That must be some feeling for any 1 man.
