    Just wondering what you would come come up with as this 5 foreign player rule will be coming back into play soon.

    This is of only players which i can remember English being foreign in this case.

    1. Boruc
    2. Agathe
    3. McNamara
    4. Boyd
    5. McManus
    6. Lambert
    7. Larsson
    8. Maloney
    9. Sutton
    10. Robson
    11. Moravcik

    12. Douglas:52:
    13. Kennedy
    14. Hartley
    15. Burley
    16. Miller

    I can only go back to Wim Jansen's time to really remember players form with Celtic.

    Boruc
    Caddis (UK)
    Mick (UK)
    Caldwell (UK)
    Naylor (UK)
    McGeady
    Hartley (UK)
    Robson (UK)
    Naka
    McDonald
    Venegoor

    People to come in:
    M.Brown (UK)
    Wilson (UK)
    JFK (UK)
    O'Dea,
    S.Brown (UK)
    Riordan (UK)
    Mizuno

    So we're not doing too badly. If its Scotland only we might be doing a bit worse! Hopefully this whole * thing never happens though..

    I read somewhere that McGeady would also count towards a scottish quto as he was born he disrepective of his choice to play for Eire.

    mcgeady was born in scotland and has scottish parents so he is scottish and a british citizen. he only chose to play for the republic through the grandparent rule. so he would count as a scot in this ruling.

    your right that totally slipped my mind when i was posting it!
    Take out hinkel and put in caddis for the mo

    5 foreign

    btw id say youd get away with mcgeady being scottish if the rule was to come in though!

    The rule is defined by the players' national Football Association eg. Aiden McGeady would be FAI, Jan would be KNVB

    However McGeady, O'Dea, Sheridan etc would all qualify under the new proposals; A player from any association can qualify as long as he has played for the club in question's academy / youth team for 3 years between the ages of 15 and 21.
