    Who would it be for you?

    It's tough choice and there are several players that narrowly miss out for me, like Dziekanowski/Varga/Viduka/JVOH, but I would nominate this team managed by Wim Jansen :50:

    (3-5-2)

    Boruc

    Mjallby
    Balde
    Valgaeren

    Agathe
    Izaguirre

    Petrov
    Wanyama

    Moravcik

    Larsson
    Van Hooijdonk

    7 Subs:
    Broto
    Hinkel
    Rieper
    Nakamura
    Thom
    Cadette
    Di Canio

    [Note - I apologise for the use of 'British', it was merely a clever way of excluding the Irish players because I think there have been so many that have starred for Celtic and we'd all find it hard to class our Irish brothers and sisters as foreign per se, purely because the South of Ireland is rightly free but I didn't want the thread to be named 'Best foreign Celtic team excluding the Irish' :56::50:]

    If we're picking on how good a player they were, Juninho would definitely start in my team, and probably Gravesen. But going on the performances they gave (or got a chance to give) for Celtic...


    Boruc

    Agathe Reiper Mjallby Izaguirre

    Kayal Petrov

    Nakamura Moravcik Samaras

    Larsson

    With Nakamura playing as a wingback in a old style 3-5-2 ?

    Ermm... naw, I think there's some mileage left in this one yet. :icon_mrgreen:

    GK Boruc

    CB Mjallby
    CB Balde
    CB Valgaeren

    RM Nakamura
    CM Petrov
    CM Wanyama
    LM Moravcik

    AM Di Canio

    ST Larsson
    ST Van Hooijdonk

    Wanyama would have to sit really deep to protect though because the wide midfielders ain't tracking back.

    The way Agathe, Bobo, Mjallby and Valgaeren played though Agathe basically covered the whole right and Valgaeren was half centre-half, half left back. Thompson rarely went back plus with us playing in the SPL, when would Naka ever need to defend when teams like Kilmarnock are trying to cope with Nakamura, Agathe, Petrov, Moravcik, Larsson and Cadete against them :icon_mrgreen:

    Very surprised to see no-one but me going for Viduka.

    Got to be one of the best strikers we've had in recent years surely? Of any nationality...

    Are folk leaving him out because they didn't like his attitude?

    Yes.

    That being said, I'd genuinely have Sutton, Hartson, Cadete, Van Hooijdonk, and obviously the King ahead of him in the team.

    Think its just sheer numbers of quality forwards we've had, most of them foreign recently.

    Larsson, Viduka, Van Hooijdonk, Cadete, Di Canio and Lubo were all greats that could have graced any Hoops team of recent years.

    The Dead, im sure had McCoist and Hateley in their best ever team... we have Larsson and Dalglish, always something I found quite funny, we've literally had a 10+ forwards better than their best.
