    SOMETIMES introductions are best left to the experts and, on the day of his 51st birthday, when it comes to the wonder that is Lubo Moravcik, we decided to pass the baton on to some who could really do him justice when speaking during the Slovak’s time at Celtic Park.

    MARTIN O’NEILL:
    “You wonder where he has been hiding all these years. Lubo is the most-two footed player in Europe, his talent is amazing. His contribution to the Treble-winning team was absolutely immense and I was delighted that he signed for one more season to play in the Champions League.
    “He remains one of the most gifted footballers I have ever seen or worked with and considering I played with many excellent players at club and international level, I cannot pay him any greater compliment than that. In only a short period of time at Celtic Park he has become as big a hero as any of the Lisbon Lions of 1967. He must have done something special to have warranted such acclaim.”

    HENRIK LARSSON:
    “It’s always nice to be out on the pitch but when you play Rangers and you manage to beat them 5-1 that’s a great experience and I’m happy for Lubo that he made his derby debut that way because it always makes it a little bit easier.’
    “I don't think you could ever replace Lubo, even if you had loads and loads of money to spend. It's going to be hard to replace him, almost impossible I think, because you don't get players like that around very often.”

    PAUL LAMBERT:
    “I don't think there was ever a more skilful player in my time at the club. He's the most talented two-footed player I've ever played with and it's incredible the things he could do. He's a great player and a great entertainer.
    “You don't get a higher compliment when someone like Zinedine Zidane says he is probably one of the best No.10s that he had ever seen.”

    BERTIE AULD, on the best Celtic player he’s seen outwith the Lions:
    “For most people it would understandably be Henrik, who was a fantastic player, but in my opinion it would be have to be Lubo Moravcik. He was a very special talent.”

    60,000 OF THE PARADISE FAITHFUL:
    “Lubo! Lubo! Lubo! Lubo! Lubo!”

    Genius, no other words needed.

    That strike against Hibs at Easter Road you could watch over and over. One of the sweetest struck balls in a Celtic shirt, along with Petrovs at Dens Park.

    Always laugh at the time we played Juventus at Celtic park and beat them 4-3. Nedved idolised Moravcik and Lubo nutmegged him in that game, an amazing talent. :56:

    Thanks. I always watch the old clips and mostly see him setting up the goals or getting involved in the play.

    I've never seen a more naturally gifted footballer grace the Hoops and that includes Henrik.

    Never knew that Zidane had said he was one of the best he'd seen.

    Some player who I still think is underrated. Perhaps not by our support but outwith it.
