    There's some huge names missing from the poll.
    Jim Craig in before Danny McGrain and Kenny Dalglish??

    Instead of going for the more obvious names, my vote goes to Danny McGrain who IMO doesn't get nearly enough recognition.

    Had to go with Larsson. I started following Celtic in middle school (thanks to living in the States lol) during the reign of the Larsson/Lennon/Petrov/Hartson/Sutton squad.

    All 5 have become some of my favorites, but Larsson was a genius, great GREAT player. He was magic with the ball. So in all honesty, even though Jinky would be considered the greatest Celt of all time, it was way before my time.

    I know Jinky won the official poll but it is always Henrik for me.

    I would say Danny McGrain.

    McGrain, Murdoch, Lennox and Dalglish should be in the poll instead of Craig, Lennon and Thompson.

    i wasnt fortunate enough to see jinky live but ive seen him in videos, he was a class act, i votes for larsson because i seen him live many times and he was sublime, his goal scoring record was simply outstanding.

    Why the * is Lennon included? He isn't even close.

    Larsson. My dad grew up in the era of the Lisbon Lions and he still reckons Henke was the best.

    So hard to pick just one, growing up Paul McStay was my idol and after reading about past players Tully was a player I would have loved to have seen live also McGrory was probably the best player of his era although I'd probably go with Jinky, with Henrik, McGrain and Lubo all coming close in the reckoning.
