    Personally I think football has changed so much we will never see a player break into this ten ever again.

    Nah, I highly doubt it!

    Hopefully though. If not does that mean we will never have another legend?

    Good possibility imo...

    The number 1 spot looks untouchable but I can see someone else breaking into the top 10 aye.

    Big Billy's never will... 790 appearences for the club. That is just incredible; to think he was thinking about leaving before Big Jock came in.

    Each and every one are legends :50:

    Who has the most appearences for us just now? I would think Maloney or even possible Scott Brown?

    Anybody know?

    Unless we get a 16 year olds, give him his debut, make sure he never gets injured and continues playing until hes Weirs age then i dont think so and for you that dont know davie weirs age i'd say his hitting the big 60 pretty soon:56:

    You'd think it would be Maloney tbh, he would probably be above McNeill if he wasn't made of glass :rolleyes:

    I think we could see someone break into that top 10.

    I'm not sure big Cesar's record will ever be broken though. And in a way I hope it never is. It seems fitting that the man who lifted the European Cup for us is the same man who has made the most appearances for the club.

    nobody will make more appearances than mcneill. the only way that someone could break into our top ten now is if they are celtic through and through and good enough to play first team football their whole careers.

    Had McGeady stayed he'd have probably broken into the top 10 before he turned 30 so could easily see it happening at some point.

    even if scott brown stayed at celtic till he was 35, i can't see him making 500 appearances. he's made 119 appearances since he signed in 2007 and is 26 this month
