    One of the great Hunskelpers was Thommo. Loved him for that.

    Squad: Boruc, Boyd, Balde, Elliott, Mjallby, McNamara, Petrov, Lambert, Wanyama, Collins, Burns, McGeady, Di Canio, McClair, Hartson, Viduka.

    NB:- Only selected players who are no longer playing as it's best to judge their time with Celtic as a whole, so there is no recency bias and those currently with the club are still making their mark.

    Thought I'd add a bit of background to my team instead of just leaving it as a bare formation and lineup.

    The style of football I would ask my team to play would be a bit of a fusion between what Tommy Burns had us playing and what Martin O'Neill had us playing. I would want us to pass the ball on the deck at a fairly high tempo(not the walking pace stuff Gordon Strachan used to play) and for my forward players to not be scared to try tricks, long shots etc. Every Celtic team should play with a bit of flair. I would also like my team to press the ball high up the pitch and tackle aggressively, just like Martin O'Neill's teams did. The one man I would give a pass to defensively would be Lubo. I would allow him to conserve energy when the other team had the ball and roam around the pitch finding spaces where he could be open when we win the ball back.

    Lubo would be the centre piece of my team. Most of our attacks would flow through him. It would be the job of the midfield three to feed him. Once Lubo was in possession I would want Petrov and Thompson to make runs into the box and get into goalscoring positions. Something I feel they were both very good at, particularly Petrov.

    Vennegoor of Hesselink provides height and physicality up front but not much pace or skill so to get the best out of him we'll need crosses coming into the box. That's where the full-backs come in. Jackie and Tosh are two of the best crossers of the ball I have seen play the full-back position for Celtic. Their job would be to get forward and put as many balls into the box for Larsson and big Jan as possible.

    Neil Lennon's job is just to be Neil Lennon. Sit in front of the two centre-backs and protect them. My centre-backs job is simply to defend. Nothing fancy, just do the basics.

    Artur's job is to keep the ball out of the net and bless himself at Ibrox so the Holy Goalie song can make a return to the stands. :icon_mrgreen:

    Mad formation but * it:smiley-laughing002:

    Agathe as a CB:97: But he was rapid and had a good tackle so may do well and he doesn't need to worry about winning headers with Bobo and Myjallby next to him

    Looking around sides, we've had some cracking strikers, even in the last 15-20 year. Now we can't seem to find one to save ourselves.

    Money obviously alot to do with that but still.
