What is ‘your’ Celtic Team?

When you think of Celtic, what’s the team you think of? My Dad’s is the Quality Street Kid’s, a lot of the older generation of course go straight to the Lions.

Some will have it as the centenary season, maybe even some will have it in the dark days of the 90’s and the shining light that was Tommy Burns’ team - despite them not doing the business in the end up.

Could be Jansen stopping the 10 or the WGS bossing in Europe.

For me and I suspect it will always be the case, it’s Martin O’Neill’s Celtic. The likes of Larsson, Lubo, Thommo, Lenny, Lambo, Petrov, Sutton, Hartson...

That full era was just something else and a connection I’ve never had with a Celtic team since. It’s not the first one I can remember but it’s the one that will always be my Celtic team, the era for me.

 

O'Neill's. First time I had seen us dominate.

 

My first "proper" Celtic team was Burns'.

The first one I was REALLY indulged in was Jansen's.

The first one I was totally involved in was O'Neill's.

 

That’s the same as me, first proper team I can remember was Burns’s.

You know now I come to think of it, it may have actually been you who taught me the Cadette and Di Canio songs

 

That must make me your "Celtic Da" then

 

O’Neill’s for me too.

 

O'Neill for me as well, first time in my life I could say we truly dominated Scottish Football.

Cesar's centenary team was very special too though, the connection between the team and the support that season got us over the line in a good few games.

 

Can remember up in Calton * telling us the words on the red rubber pitches, I’m sure you were there

 

Centenary season is something I wish I witnessed, by everything I’ve seen and heard about it it seemed something truly special.

There’s been moments like that as a team though, Tommy dying and us coming back and winning the league from something like 9 points down or that for WGS 3-in-a-row. The passion at Tannadice on Tommy Burns Thursday is something rarely seen.

 

What Di Canio song though?

I've got visions of Paddy sliding down a stripper pole singing "Dee-aye-ca-nee-oh, oh he's dee-aye-ca-nee-oh

 

O Neills

 

Aye that one, D is for bla bla bla

Always annoyed me * said C - Glasgow Celtic

 

There was a right stinker of a di canio song doing the rounds at Parkhead that didn't last.

Paulo Di Canio
He's from Milanio

He got long Hario
He stays in Glasgeo

To the tune of go west. Probably worst song ive ever heard at Celtic park. Brutal

 

I don't think I have a team. When I think about Celtic I think of certain players and staff. Larsson, Lubo, Agathe, Sutton to Naka, Broony, McDonald, Boruc, McGeady to Sammy, Vic, Virgil, Hooper, Lenny etc etc

 

This one.

 

Martin O'Neill's team. After living through the 90's and the Huns 9IAR, it was a sweet feeling to see a Celtic team putting them back in their box on a regular basis. The run to Seville was also incredibly special. That team also had so many players in it that I really liked. Henrik, Lubo, Alan Thompson, Jackie McNamara, Stilian Petrov and Big Bobo to name but a few. The last season under O'Neill was turgid but it doesn't erase all the good times and special memories that went beforehand.

 

This one.

Our domestic dominance is making me so happy

I think I'm enjoying it so much because I (like a lot on here) had to go through the huns corrupt 9iar era.

These are the happiest years of my life as a tic fan

 

Larsson, sutton, Hartson etc

Its what made me go from “support them cause my family does” to supporting them because i loved them.

Although the wheels were in motion from the Cadete, Hoojidonk, DiCanio days.
