Which non Scottish or Irish players really got what Celtic are all about

[BILLCOWIE1958]

There have been some wonderful players who have graced the Green and white hoops over the years
Recently more and more non Scottish players have played for the Club with varying degrees of both success and loyalty
Which non Scottish or Irish players totally got what playing for Celtic was all about not only on the pitch but the whole ethos of the Club?

Larsson would be my top pick but who would yours be?
HH?

 

[Speyside Lhad]

PC Lustig and Izzy from the current squad

[Carfin]

The Holy Goalie wants to know why this thread isn’t named in honour of him.

 

[Lubos left peg]

Crosas is a player who seems to have a lot of love for Celtic still.

 

[Fergie1967]

One non indigenous ghuy who got it brilliantly for me was Didier Agathe - who following the home leg of the 2003 UEFA Cup Semi Final against Boavista when the fans turned on Neil Lennon for not playing the ball forward or quickly enough ( yes it did happen to the extent that Lenny’s father stormed out of the stadium vowing never to return ) was asked about this crowd reaction by the Scottish Press and memorably replied “ the fans don’t hate us - they love us too much “ - that summed us up succinctly I thought . ?

 

[ShootMurdo!]

Shuggie Edvaldsson. Dariusz Wdowczyk. Peter Latchford. I think they were all dyed-in-the-wool.

Shuggie Edvaldsson. Dariusz Wdowczyk. Peter Latchford. I think they were all dyed-in-the-wool.

Would agree 100%about Peter Latchford who went onto work with youth sides for many yrs and is a lovely modest man into the bargain

 

[Deek]

Not forgetting Erik Sviatchenko!

 

[IanDowiesSashRingtone]

Izzy from the current squad. Love him.

 

[DILLIGAF]

So many have totally got what it means to be a part of Celtic FC
Big Bad John, gets my vote, he came to us after not being signed by Lazarus FC and boy, did he love scoring against them
Heis my choce because he's still the same, when it comes to loving Celtic

 

[Neddybhoy]

Paddy McCourt

Always liked him, was a solid reliable player and humble, but I'd guess he likely already knew the score with Celtic as his Ma is from Ireland and he soon went onto play for Ireland. Morris was likewise a 100% effort and reliable player for Ireland.
