    To change the subject from the parasites in our boardroom, my all-time favourite Celtic player made his debut for Celtic 50 years ago today. Feed the bear

    Truly one of the clubs all time greats. So many great memories for me watching Roy Aitken playing for Celtic.

    He's been a club ambassador for us since 2017, bounced around a few coaching positions before that by his wiki.

    Showing my age but remember him as a 16 year old making his debut in 1975 against Stenhousemuir in the league cup

    EDIT Might be wrong but think he was still at school

    Loved it when he quickly took a throw in Scottish cup final for Joe Miller to score winner v Rangers.
    It wasn't even our throw in - brilliant.:101:

    The bear is a legend.

    A superb player and man. I had a big poster of him in my bedroom as a teen. He always gave more than 100% percent if that were possible every time he put the jersey on.
