    For me Brian McClair doesn't get the praise and recognition he deserves. Was an outstanding player for us. For me he was way better than Judas at the time and I was more gutted about him leaving than Judas. Scored over a hundred goals for us in a very short time. Fantastic and weirdly rarely mentioned player.

    Henrik Larsson! I'm no kidding either! Disnae matter how much praise he got back then (or now) - he deserved / deserves more!

    He was that good!

    Lee Naylor. Came in and did exactly what it says on the tin. Really liked him , honest and thought he was always willing to put sweat in the shirt. No world beater but I knew he would try his best .

    Didier Agathe.
    The performances he put in sometimes aren’t acknowledged due to the star power he played with.

    Big Pierre, we had Walker & Nicholas up front at the time (* me). Changed the buzz around the club and got fans and the rest of the team believing again - may have turned out to be a bit of a * but was a huge part of getting us out of the dark days.

    McAvennie - without him we might not have won the Centenary final.

    Paul Telfer
    Charlie Mulgrew
    Barry Robson
    Paul Hartley

    Controversial one for me is Loovens guy had a bad patch for a few months but was nowhere near as bad as made out to be

    Barry Robson. He came in at the latter stages of the season and played a huge part in winning us the league, he smashed the huns in his first game against them. Hard * but also a good footballer, very under rated.

    Jimmy McGrory. Regardless of the era, his strike rate is phenomenal.

    I think he gets the credit. Even has his own anthem.
