   Had a conversation in the pub before the game on wednesday which threw up a few interesting names. Who was your first idol when you started watching Celtic?
   
   I said Phil O'Donnell which raised a few eyebrows but I will justify and say he was my cousin. Other than that biased perspective I'd probably say Di Canio, football was so effortless to him.

   Had an interesting conversation in the pub before the game on wednesday which threw up a couple of out-there names over the years.
   
   Personally, I said Phil O'Donnell which raised a few eyebrows but I then explained he was my cousin and already a hero in my eyes before he pulled on the hoops.
   
   Other than that biased perspective I'd say Di Canio, football just seemed so effortless to him.
   
   But aye, who was yours?
