Top 100 Appearances for Celtic

Which is fine and totally your perogative, and even by that logic it would put CalMac ahead of Jimmy McStay, but it is still 15th, as Patsy Gallacher will still be ahead of him in 14th on 522.

 

Bit tired when I posted that.

Players below the top 100 to see the target on how close our current players need to reach except of course Forrest and CalMac

As requested, below are the current squad including those out on loan that have played at least 1 senior match (not on bench) but will include KT as he will be with us next season.
CalMac and Forrest not on it as they are on the other list.

Players on same amount of games but higher trophy haul will be above players on lower trophy haul. except in first list which is CalMac and Forrest as they are only 2 still playing in top 100 so they will be above players in top 100 no longer playing.

This means if both CalMac and Forrest play all remining games this season Forrest will be on 528 in 13th place just 1 behind our Greatest ever Celt the late great Jimmy Johnstone.
CalMac will be, due to the above paragraph, on 519 in 15th place, equal to the great Jimmy McStay.

 

Thanks again, hope the recovery to full fitness is going well buddy?

 

Just tired a lot but getting there

 

Adam Idah has made 67 appearances in 14 months, when he's spent most of that time as second choice ? We play an insane amount of games

 

@Drakhan thanks for all your efforts with this.

Out of interest, where are you finding the numbers for Willie Miller (#59 on the list)? Even accounting for Regional League & Cup games played during WWII, the number seems to be around the 260 mark?

The other thing to be taken into account with this is the use of 5 subs nowadays, compared to the various previous eras, where no subs, 1 sub or 3 subs have incrementally effected appearance statistics.

 

Will check Miller out tomorrow

 

It just got my attention as the obvious thing being so many appearances (including playing for Scotland) but never winning anything... which piqued my curiousity, but he was part of that 1940's era that we came very close to being relegated at one point... avoided it in like the 88th minute of the last day of the season c 1947/8?

 

According to Celtic wiki he played 265 games in Scottish cup and in league. I think he would have played more but have to check the stats book which I will do later.
If can’t do it I will readjust the list

 

Yeah, that was where I found the 260-ish number, so yeah 265

 

If 265 then it will drop him to 78th

 

Just checked and its 303 not 305 but he won 2 trophies although they arent considered major trophies (Glasgow Cup and Glasgow Charity Cup) anymore.
Moved from 59th to 62nd.

 

Just checked and unless Forrest plays every match next season AND we get to Scottish Cup Final, League cup final and either CL final or EL final he wont be able to overtake Jimmy McMenemy until most probably end of season 26/27

 

Updated so far

 

Just updated Willie Miller as used the book and Celtic website and its 307 total appearances
