    Craig Burley. He was a good player but is a very ignorant man in person. John Hartson on the other hand is an absolute gem of a guy. Stood chatting to him for a few minutes about the football on the Riverboat Casino on the Clyde and offered to buy him a beer but he was having none of it and he bought me and all the company I was with around of drinks. Have also met big Bobo in Exchange Square and he was a lovely big guy. He was fecking enormous with hands like shovels. Can I just add that I'm not a stalker

    Hated Viduka, *.

    Loved Frank McGarvey...not sure if he was * but the rubber man was never lauded like the other strikers we had at the time (Judas, Rambo, McLair etc)

    Loved Harold Bratbak, he used to get a lot of stick because he missed more than he would score, but seemed to be something about him you just had to like !!

    I always quite liked Loovens always felt he got unfair stick off the back of a poor spell of a couple of months.

    Never rated Johnston or Soro

    Efe cause he was just a lovable guy, he did have one cracking season to be fair but then became a constant bombscare.

    GMS, seemed like a nice wee guy and wanted him to do well when he came here, he had a few good tricks and got some goals but flattered to deceive.

    Hated Commons, scored some huge goals but after that bust up on the bench when he got subbed off by Ronny away to Molde just showed what a snide wee * he was, done it all for the cameras.

    Commons is no the sharpest tool in the box, he thinks you need to study for a blood test.

    Commons and stokes were for me very unlikable, although wouldn't consider the good either

    From recent memory Teemu Pukki, liked him and I thought there was a really good player in there. Was surprised he never got more game time, wish we had stuck with him bcos I think he would have grown into a really good striker for us.

    Someone had a good shout about Craig Burley earlier. Can't remember fully if I liked him when he was with us but certainly was/is a total * in hindsight.

    * but loved:

    Amido Balde
    Marc Antoine Fortune

    Great but hated:

    Probably only Commons while he played
    I hate Lennon and Gordon now, not while they played. Not even Lennon while manager, it’s since he’s left. Gordon wasn’t great either.

    There’s loads in between. Guys who weren’t * or great that I loved and hated like Weah (loved), Craig Beattie (hated). Beattie was * actually.

    Surprised that both Tony watt and Miku haven't been said yet, purely down to the barca game.

    And Jorge cadete for not coming back

    Off the top of my head.........

    Loved Bobo and Cadette

    Hated Stubbs and Stokes and Tommy Johnson

    Celtic gave Stubbs an extension on his contract that was about to run out when he was lying in a hospital bed with a non football related illness. The * couldn't get away fast enough when it ran out

    Tommy Johnson for standing laughing and joking with Falkirk players whilst getting beat in a Scottish cup semi final

    I'll be back with more later

    Remember he scored 4 goals but missed 3/4 easier chances in the same game
