    Petrov or Lennon ahead of Mcstay can it be justified?

    Most people would have Paul ahead of Petrov and Lennon in a Greatest ever Celts debate. Is there a case for it to be the other way around?

    Petrov is the best midfielder i have ever seen in my relatively short life up here.....i was pretty young when McStay was at his peak, but still remember him and am sticking with Stan.

    My old man says Petrov too.....but very close.

    Going for Paul. I just think he was a better player and green&white ran through his blood.

    McStay and Collins were better players in the mid IMO but didn't have the quality like Larsson, Lubo, Lambert, Sutton,Hartson and Thompson surrounding them over the years

    You're only as good as the rest of your team mates allow you to be. Once we started bringing in better players like Pierre, Thom and Jackie, we seen McStay and JC starting to get back to their best

    IMO if they were playing a few years later, Mcstay and Collins would have walked into Oneill's team
