    Brilliant question and one which will have many variants and debate a plenty.

    For me:

    1) Henrik Larsson
    2) Chris Sutton
    3) Artur Boruc
    4) Shunsuke Nakamura
    5) Stylian Petrov
    6) Aiden McGeady
    7) John Hartson
    8) Scott Brown
    9) Joos Valgaeren
    10) Gary Hooper

    This is in terms of what I feel they have contributed, not in terms of stature and what they were before/after Celtic: Roy Keane; Freddie Ljumberg; Graveson and Robbie Keane etc.

    Notable mentions to Shaun Maloney, Fraser Forster, Bobo Balde, Paul Lambert (past his best in the end) and this can also be said of McNamara. Our great manager - Neil Lennon ( I just never took to him as a player - Ididn't like his style and didn't think he merited his transfer fee as a player - although he has altogether). Victor Wanyama.

    The fact people picked someone who played half a season for us is pitiful.

    Cant believe people have Boruc in before Forster but I suppose Boruc blessed himself and annoyed them so must make him better.

    Boruc was one of the best keepers in the world when he was here.

    Prob the best ever to play for us.

    Samaras completes the list, but I don't know where to put him as he's such a Jekyll and Hyde. Good Samy goes in the top three... bad Sammy gets kicked off the list altogether!
