  1. Agree about the "old firm" nonsense.

     

    Who'd want them as partners? Lennon's Leith Hibs maybe. Strange transformation there. Up to fifty years ago celtic were Hibs' worst enemies.

  2. "In any case, we can play some decent enough football, had 21 shots tonight, 11 on target. Again, our achilles heel is and remains not converting enough chances. This time, it almost shot us in the foot again." - dB.

     

    Our Achilles' Heel is our inability to defend a lead.

  3. Nat Lofthouse, Tommy Lawton, Willie Thornton (think of all those Waddell crosses) didn't suffer from dementia as far as I know nor does Jimmy Millar.

     

    Another great header of the ball, Willie Bauld of the Hearts, died very young but I don't know what he died of. Jeff Astle of WBA died at sixty and he definitely had brain disease which at the time was related to his football career.

     

    On the other hand I can think of plenty defenders who liked nothing better than heading the ball clear for ninety minutes who thankfully are still with us.

     

    Talking of the fearless Jimmy Millar of the Rangers wearing number 9, go to youtube and look for "Jimmy Millar of the Rangers" by the Followers. These days, nostalgia is even better than it used to be.

  4. I was tempted to put that down too, boabie - though that line-up very rarely played, strangely enough. (Injuries, national service etc.)

     

    True. But add on Harry Davis, Alex Scott, Davy Provan, George McLean and Jim Forrest and you've got a five year squad.

  5. I've done this dozens of times and never picked the same XI twice but here goes.

     

    Goram.

     

    Caldow Gough McKinnon Cox

     

    Laudrup Greig Gascoigne Baxter

     

    McCoist Hateley

     

    Can't believe I've chosen McCoist and Hateley ahead of Millar and Brand. And no Wullie or Ian McColl. I'll be back in the afternoon with something different. Then again at night.
