    Rangers were liquidated due to their financial troubles. The blame for those financial troubles can be pinned on the Rangers board at the time.

    It's not Celtic's fault they were liquidated.

    It's not Celtic's fault they cheated for years.

    It's not Celtic's fault a new club had to start in the bottom league, despite not having the necessary 3 years of accounts before being admitted to the league system.

    It's not Celtic's fault that Aberdeen and the rest couldn't topple us.

    The only titles that are 'devalued' are those that were won through the dead club's cheating.

    Special footballer I’m glad I can say I seen in the flesh.

    I put him on the pedestal with the Messi’s, Iniesta’s, Ronaldinho’s etc... in terms of pure * given natural ability for kicking a round ball full of air on a length of grass.

    He was something else. And what makes him stand out above others with that sort of talent is the fact, to this day, no one knows which foot is stronger.

    Personally the best player I've saw grace the hoops.

    Had the pleasure to meet him at a book sign and shook his hand.

    Came across this on YouTube this morning and thought I’d post on here before I seen you had.

    Personal favourite is his free kick v Motherwell at 9 mins 13 secs. The flying pig played out his skin that night then up popped Lubo late on to curl in a beauty. He was absolutely seething. I mind the whole crowd giving it “cheer up Andy Goram..” straight after.

    That is one of my favourites as well. There was this * used to sit behind us who for some reason was always slagging Lubo. Was a serious tool. Was slagging him all this game. When it went in just turned around and gave the "nothing to say now * look " :giggle1:

    Some player Lubo was mad thinking about the age we got him.

    Imagine slagging Lubo * Moravcik, a * among us mere mortals. The guy must’ve been a roaster!

    33 years old if I recall correctly. Unbelievable ability. Always remember Keevins calling him a nobody when he had over 100 international caps. Fud.

    IT was Neil Lennon’s first Old Firm game at Ibrox.

    Celtic had already wrapped up the league title in style and were desperate to put the icing on the cake by ending their seven-year wait for a victory in Govan.


    But Martin O’Neill was left furious with his side’s first-half display, despite going in level at the break.

    The Hoops boss made his feelings clear in the dressing room, demanding answers from trusted duo Lennon and Chris Sutton.

    Signalling to the fact the champions were being overrun by Rangers in midfield, Lennon pointed the finger at Lubo Moravcik for refusing to run back.

    And in an extensive interview with CQN podcast, Lenny recalled the moment he and Paul Lambert were left cursing the little Slovakian after being given strict orders by O’Neill.


    But the pair were made to eat his words at full-time as Moravick turned on the magic to fire Celts to a famous 3-0 triumph.

    Paying tribute to the fans’ favourite, Lennon hilariously revealed: “We played Rangers in the last Old Firm game of the season and we had already won the league.

    “I wasn’t as polite as that! So he says to me and Paul, ‘you two. You just f****** run and tackle, and get the ball and give it to him’.

    “Paul Lambert, Champions League winner! The two of us are walking down the tunnel going ‘f****** little p****!’


    “Ten minutes into the second-half, it was 2-0 and Lubo had scored the f****** both of them!

    “So you knew there and then where the pecking order was.

    “Me and Paul were the hod carriers and Henrik, Lubo and Sutty – they were painting the pictures.”
