    Who has had the best debut for Celtic ?

    If I remember rightly, Barry Robson scored with his first kick of a ball at Celtic. However, in recent memory, my list would be:

    1. Beram Kayal
    2. Efe Ambrose
    3. Tom Rogic

    I can't remember most of our players' debuts, those 3 stick out in my mind though. Kayal was absolutely sensational in his debut. Samaras had a good debut away to Killie if I remember correctly too.

    Di Canio away to Kilmarnock. Brought on at half time when we were a goal down. Scored our first and we destroyed them 3-1 in the second half and it could have been a lot more.

    Nakamura, I also thought Ki did really well on his debut.

    Hooper's was good at Wembley.

    I'm really struggling to understand how people rate Rogic's performance yesterday so highly.

    He played reasonably well, he had a very nice assist and a couple of decent digs at goal but other than that he hardly touched the ball. I was still happy with his performance and it was a good debut but I think a lot of people are overreacting.

    Gershon was more impressive, by far.

    Would take a lot to beat Jorge Cadete's debut. The actual game and everything surrounding his signing at the time.

    Tommy Gravesen against Aberdeen I think it was?

    Lubo Moravcik against Motherwell (I think?) 6-0 and then the next week went on to skelp the Huns!

    Did Chris Sutton not make his debut in the 6-2 game?

    I'd have to go for that one as well. Especially as it was my first ever visit to Celtic Park.

    Zheng Zhi against the huns. Might not have been his debut though. He was class in that game.

    Commons and Watt are the best examples under the current regime.

    Watt came on and literally won us the game vs Motherwell last April. I think we were drawing 0-0 or something at the time and he came on and scored two within 5 minutes.
