Top 100 Appearances for Celtic

If CalMac still plays every game left of this season and all of next season he will still be about 2 dozen games short of reaching top 10 on the list but if he does that for following season as well then he will be between Packie Bonnar and Broony.
Also if we complete treble this season and next he will be 2 behind Cesar in trophy haul but 7 behind Alec McNair

 

Updated the current players except for the subs. If they play then will update them too.
After tonight CalMac will be just 6 matches behind Celtic Legend Mr Celtic Tommy Burns

 

I like this thread and all the information. Interesting.

 

With maximum 15 matches possible left this season CalMac can only get to 14th on the list this season and only to 12th by end of next season.

 

Extra little list. Top 10 players trophy haul with Celtic FIRST TEAM.
It's for trophy haul but this will include all first team competitions including Glasgow Cup up until 1988/89 season where that competition stopped being for first team. It includes ALL FIRST TEAM competitions they entered throughout the clubs history.
Current list as of 28/02/2025 with trophies in brackets and current players in bold

1) Jimmy McMenemy (37)
2) Alec McNair (35)
3) Billy McNeill (29)
4) James Forrest (25)
5) Bobby Lennox (25)
6) Jimmy Johnstone (24)
7) Bobby Murdoch (24)
8) Callum McGregor (23)
9) Scott Brown (22)
=10) Jim Young (1903) (21)
=10) Tommy Gemmell (21)
=10) Joe Dodds (21)

Win the treble this season and CalMac will move to = 5th, level with Bobby Lennox and Forrest will move to 4th, 2 trophies short of Cesar's total.

 

@Taz

Any chance you could do a story on the top 10 on the trophy haul list which is previous post.
I included every comp they entered but doesnt have to be about every comp.
Could do it after end of season which will be updated for CalMac and Forrest who will get another 2 trophies each to add to their haul.

 

Really hope Jamesy finally gets his flowers when he hangs them up. A Celtic legend.

 

Years ago I did a series of profiles for some of the great Celts of the past for this site, called it "And They Gave Us...". Might be something worth revisiting.

 

Maybe bring it back up

Currently Forrest 15th on list with Cal Mac 18th

Players below the top 100 to see the target on how close our current players need to reach except of course Forrest and CalMac


227 Kris Commons (8)
227 Alan Thompson (8)
221 Artur Boric (6)

As requested, below are the current squad including those out on loan that have played at least 1 senior match (not on bench) but will include KT as he will be with us next season.
CalMac and Forrest not on it as they are on the other list.
All figures below are from wiki


212 Greg Taylor (10)
(170 Kieran Tierney ) (8)
155 Cameron Carter-Vickers (8)
154 Daizen Maeda (7)
139 Reo Hatate (7)
109 Anthony Ralston (13)
107 Alistair Johnston (6)
98 Jota (5)
95 LiamScales (5)
78 Scott Bain (12)
72 Paulo Bernardo (3)
68 Stephen Welsh (9)
68 Adam Idah (3)
64 Nicolas-Gerritt Kuhn (3)
63 Yang Hyun-Jun (3)
48 Luis Palma (3)
48 Arne Engels (1)
46 Kaspar Schmeichel (1)
36 Luke McCowan (0)
35 Auston Trusty (1)
16 Odin Thiago Holm (2)
16 Maik Nawrocki (3)
14 Jeffrey Schlupp (0)
10 Adam Montgomery (2)
6 Viljami Sinisalo (1)
6 Johnny Kenny (0)
1 Francis Turley (0)
1 Jude Bonnar (0)

 

Nawrocki's long rise up the table begins now...

 

How long is KT's contract because even with his current total of 170 games he is going to take at least until season 2026/27 before he reaches the main list and displaces Bi Bobo Balde

 

@Drakhan some of those appearance figures for the current squad are way off.

Not to get into this right now, but while Greg Taylor is accurate (208 across all comps), using CCV for example, has played 111 Premiership games (before today) alone, before counting any Cup or European matches.

 

Will sort it after the game

 

Sorted CCVs but will do rest later as going out just now.

Figures sorted.

 

Just updated trophy haul for current squad. Got the totals from wiki

 

By end of this season Forrest and Cal Mac can move up to 13th and 14th respectively on the list

 

13th & joint 15th... With a max of 7 League & 2 Cup games to go...

522 Patsy Gallacher (14)
519 James Forrest (25)
519 Jimmy McStay (8)
513 Jim Young (1903) (21)
511 Tommy Burns (15)
510 Callum McGregor (23)

Gallacher currently in 13th, so 4 more appearances for Forrest to move clear into 13th with Gallacher would then be 14th, and even if CalMac plays all 9 games that takes him to 519, joint 15th with Jimmy McStay.

 

I move the current players above the ones no longer playing if they areon same amount of games.
Easier to do.

 

When I hear his name I think of the Flintstones. Unrelated to that, He's barely put a foot wrong when I've seen him tbf. I'm a big fan.
