    Neil Lennon is more deserving of a place on the list than Kenny Dalglish. Just sayin.

    In terms of playing ability, I would go for Jinky, with his pure wizardry on the ball.

    In terms of goal scoring, its a no brainer, Larsson.

    In terms of what it means to be a Celt and personifying this club, without a doubt, it is the late-great Tommy Burns.

    Agree I honestly can't stand Dalglish he was a great footballer but is an utter * as a person

    Big Billy captained the best team in our history and they were very much a team, as leader of the Lions wins it for me.

    Brought a double against the odds in our Centenary too.:shamrock:

    The only slight on him is that car park meeting which was poor IMO

    Aye but he loved the club, hard to knock him for it really.

    He met with the Kelly's to take the job whilst Davie Hay was still in charge

    More of an indication on how the board did buisness rather than a slight on Billy.

    Yeah maybe but Davie Hay was an old team mate and friend some things are best dealt with other ways than that

    I voted for Bobby, because i knew him and the family.

    On a bad day he could land a ball on a tanner, on a good day he would put the tanner on the ball and pass it for 20 feet and the tanner always stayed on the ball heads up.

    He was the man every team wanted, also he always made me look good.

    R.I.P.

    We will always remember the Killes
