    What I'm lookong for is players who really have us the runaround and what you remember about it. It might be a superstar, it might be a player you'd never heard of before or dodnt know much about at the time.

    Can be from a European or Domestic game.

    Thought of this after watching tonight's Champions League highlights and one Lars Stindl was mentioned. I remember when we played "A German Team" under Rodgers, I was really surprised by this guy. I think some fans at the time knew him well but I was shocked, had never heard of him and he was really a class above anything else on the pitch when they came to Parkhead, classy and effective. Was no surprise to see him playing for Germany months later.

    Give me your examples!

    Wasn’t a superstar at the time but was certainly playing well beneath his station. Was September 2017 we were playing Hibs at home (Lenny managing them and doing a good job), we were still unbeaten but our very skilful and capable midfield three of McGregor, Ntcham and Rogic were absolutely bosses by John McGinn, he was everywhere, breaking things down, putting in the yards and scored two screamers past Gordon into the bargain. No surprise to see him do so well in the PL so far.

    Requelme is one of the finest players I’ve ever seen at Parkhead.

    Another one:

    When we played Salzburg under under Rodgers. Samassekou, their holding mid, absolutely ficking bossed us. Was so impressed by him, thought he looked destined for a big club. He's at Hoffenheim now

    The boy Kessie from Milan coasted against us, dictated that game and will no doubt do the same again.
