Trouble is, only about four of us can answer it, the two others being @alexscottislegend and @MacK1950. Us: Martin, Johansen, McKinnon, Greig, Provan, Jardine, Dave Smith, Henderson, Alex Smith, Hynd, Johnston. Them: Simpson, Craig, McNeil, Clark, Gemmell, Murdoch, Auld, Johnstone, Chalmers, Wallace, Lennox. The select, position for position. Simpson, Johansen, McKinnon, Greig, Gemmell, Jardine, D Smith, Henderson, Wallace, Chalmers, Lennox. Fiddling around a bit, drop Johansen, put Jardine in his place and switch Greig and Dave Smith. Simpson, Jardine, McKinnon, D Smith, Gemmell, Murdoch, Greig, Henderson, Wallace, Chalmers, Lennox. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,509 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I had to look up a celtic page to refresh my memory of their formation. The first thing I learned is that the players went to Mass in the morning. Why didn’t we think of that? I doubt that their full eleven turned up at the cathedral. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,509 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Bertie Auld midfield instead of John Greig? Effective player, Auld but nowhere near the greatest. McNeill for Clark is fine - double centre half instead of centre half and sweeper. The more I think about a McKinnon/McNeill partnership, the more I like it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Greig in Smith's position? Also fancy having to choose between Henderson and Jinky. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were what was called at the time 'pivots'. Each needed a free sweeper; nobody better than D. Smith who was so under-rated - I would rather have him than Clark. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone was better than Henderson that season but overall I think Henderson was a more productive winger. He would beat a defender and know exactly what to do next. Johnstone would beat his man with ease and then while he was deciding what to do, beat another and go back and beat the first one again. Fabulous entertainment but by that time Henderson would have got the cross in to Millar. GOAL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
