Calmac wouldn't be my first choice either as he doesn't look to be the same leader of men like Ajer. Just pray to God we can hang on to him.
Big Thor is not only the leader of men, he is the leader of Gods, Shammy. Even Odin shites it when big Kris is swinging his hammer and El Loki Morelos is still to be found living in his back pocket to this day.Calmac wouldn't be my first choice either as he doesn't look to be the same leader of men like Ajer.

Forgot about him and what about that absolute steal from arsenal Martin Hayes , Johnny's uncle I watched him through a Hayes of tearsAww come on, Ped.........what aboot Evander Sno and his size 15 feet? Not only was he so good that he could beat himself, he also gave himself heart palpitations with his natural 'talent and ability'.
Big Bhoy likes to beat up bouncy bouncers too.......
The list goes on Galway,When you look at the amount of caps the lions got for Scotland, it's an absolute scandal.Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face! Greig 44 Cesar 29.
Unfortunately just caught end of big Danny's career but over all I think broony has been our best since ceasor in my personal opinion HHWould be interesting to get some views on this , Keevins claims he is , made me think , Danny McGrain, feed the bear, Paul mcstay, ,Lambo In Seville
Thoughts ?
Just like McGrory and Larsron. The past fades and the future shines for the young ones who will only have our word for it or outdated footage of a game that may have changed, my boys laugh at the passback and charging the keeper with your shoulder, but that was the rules then.The op suggested that Broony is our greatest captain SINCE big Billy. I think there's no doubt Cesar will always be the No1 captain in the eyes of most supporters but the time will soon come when a generation of fans will never have seen Billy play apart from watching reruns of 1967 and of him lifting the big cup.
If we sign the Wall then there is your inspiration at the back.Big Thor is not only the leader of men, he is the leader of Gods, Shammy. Even Odin shites it when big Kris is swinging his hammer and El Loki Morelos is still to be found living in his back pocket to this day.
I was thinking about that kit he was wearing on Thursday and can't get the thought of 'purple bricks' oot my napper.If we sign the Wall then there is your inspiration at the back.
Docco, I'm not sure this thread was designed to start a competition. I think it was an opportunity for folk to express an opinion on their memories and thoughts of what makes a Celtic captain.
I happen to agree with many of your observations on Scott Brown, but what you're describing there means that the captain deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his services to the international community.
Whilst he deserves all of the accolades, Celtic learnt a lot of lessons from the Stan Petrov debacle and have been at the forefront in ensuring that foreign players from different cultural backgrounds get the opportunity to integrate. For as much as I appreciate your acknowledgement of Broonie, it's not solely his domain to welcome new players. I think it's a bit insulting to some very decent players to suggest that Broonie "carried them". He has been an integral part of the team and made a much valued contribution, but there were other fine players who also made their mark and this current Celtic side could never be regarded as a one-man team.
He's definitely up there in the pantheon of Celtic greats though and if he does skipper us to 10 and notches another few pieces of silverware, then he certainly has the credentials for the title of Greatest Celtic Captsin.

Just on a point of fact, Docco
If I were being overly analytical, I would have pedantically pointed out that it should be tbh and not thb.
You're welcomeMy phone screen is mullered..tricky to type but thanks for the heads up
Spherical, you think that if we win 10 that makes broony better than Cesar ?Docco, I'm not sure this thread was designed to start a competition. I think it was an opportunity for folk to express an opinion on their memories and thoughts of what makes a Celtic captain.

Who else could hurt the opposition with just a grin? \o/
Naw, not at all TT, I think it gives him a basis from which to make the claim, but I'm not of the opinion that Cesar can be matched in terms of trophies won or in terms of the dignity and conduct of a Celtic skipper.Spherical, you think that if we win 10 that makes broony better than Cesar ?
And a whole new debate opens up , for me thinking about it canβt call it , history never to be repeated , in saying that , can we get 9 first , please
