Away from player talk etc thought I would have an actual bit of banter and pose a random question. So, if you could have picked one Celtic manager and one Celtic player to have been at us instead of them, who would you pick? It's got to have been within your lifetime tho? Think a lot prob be similar but it's just a laugh. And let's make it also that you can't pick larsson. Might make it more interesting.

OT I think John Stein and as a back up Ange. We never won anything when I was a lad because of Stein. I also think Billy McNeil from the same era and as much as it pains me Scott Brown more recently.
09 Jun 2025 10:20:25
Dalgleisgh.
09 Jun 2025 10:24:23
Player Moravcik, manager O'Neil.
09 Jun 2025 10:27:11
John barnes and Rafael scheidt ?.
09 Jun 2025 10:27:51
Big ange and moravchek or nakamura for me.
09 Jun 2025 10:29:21
Ange, Di Canio.
09 Jun 2025 10:44:18
Big Ange and Virgil Van Dijk.
09 Jun 2025 10:53:40
Dalglish. No manager for me with possible exception of STEIN.
09 Jun 2025 11:04:07
Can't believe we're doing this but OK OT. Tommy Burns is about the only Manager I'd have time for. Absolute gent. And for player apart from the obvious favourites I'd got for Big Bobo going to get u. He'd sort out our defence for sure.
09 Jun 2025 11:04:10
Ange as he could and would have got the player trading model up and running and got us a load of players cheap but quality.
Oriley again just because that 25m would of been great for us to get.
09 Jun 2025 11:08:44
Either Paul Mcstay or Larson. Manager is a toughy. Ange probably.
09 Jun 2025 11:09:21
I liked big Viduka. He was a player. Maybe Wim Jansen.
09 Jun 2025 11:10:15
Paul McStay and manager would be ange.
09 Jun 2025 11:31:55
I will go for two Rangers supporters. King Kenny and Jock Stein.
09 Jun 2025 11:38:05
Good answers Angus. Player wise I would have said Van dijk and manager wise it would be between martin o Neill and tommy burns. My old boy knew TB and whenever we bumped into him he was a genuinely good guy, even towards me who was only a young one then.
09 Jun 2025 11:38:13
As a player, I would say John Collins. He would have thrived for us in the era he played in. As for manager, definitely Ange.
09 Jun 2025 11:39:40
I considered di canio coully. Controversial player but bags of ability.
09 Jun 2025 11:41:55
Dalglish for me too. Would have said Johnstone if we hadn't had Willie Henderson who was my favourite Ranger as a kid.
Manager has to be Stein.
09 Jun 2025 11:49:31
Burns manager n jackie mcnamara.
09 Jun 2025 11:50:47
I really like maeda, has a fabulous work rate and going by RM pressers he'd fut into the new style, managers i really liked big anges if you score 4 we will score 5 attitude.
09 Jun 2025 11:53:47
Not that I really want to think that much about them, but I can't believe that so far only one person has given a passing mention to Larsson. He's the one I wish we had gotten, especially considering how much he cost.
09 Jun 2025 12:07:16
OP said don't include larsson?.
09 Jun 2025 12:28:45
Thanks fork, knew there would be a few who would ignore that part. Also don't really get the couple of comments about "don't know why we are doing it". It's just a bit of a laugh. Doesn't mean your a closet Celtic supporter, chill.
09 Jun 2025 12:49:33
O'neil and di canio.
09 Jun 2025 12:50:34
Moravcik and and O'Neil.
09 Jun 2025 12:51:45
Sorry OT didn't mean to come across like that as if u shouldn't be saying it. More a this seems funny actually doing it. A good discussion and bit of banter, just didn't put it well. There have been one or two over there I've not minded. ?.
09 Jun 2025 12:52:05
? Ah ok, never saw that! Couldn't understand why no one had mentioned him?.
09 Jun 2025 13:05:50
Surprised how many different Celtic players our fans rate tbh. I think that is what it is all about supporting one team but being able to see and respect a good player whoever he plays for.
09 Jun 2025 13:07:42
Tommy Burns as manager and has to be Dalgleish with Van Dijk a close second.
09 Jun 2025 13:07:58
In my time, probably Larsson was the stand out, manager wise and trophiy wins then Martin O'Neil, Stein would be obvious choice but a bit before my time.
09 Jun 2025 13:39:46
Player had to be Moravcik outstanding ability, Stein and Dalglish was before me, vvd kicked on after celtic.
09 Jun 2025 13:52:27
Burns and Moravcik.
09 Jun 2025 15:54:05
Has to be Jock Stein and Kenny Dalglish.
09 Jun 2025 20:49:56
Jock Stein and Danny McGrain.
