    16 tbh I have to say Strachan years but that's because I only have the O'Neil era to compare against.

    Im 43 and without doubt the 90's until we stopped 10 in a row, the club very nearly went under, we couldnt compete on the pitch, it was only when Fergus arrived that things started to look up. Dark days indeed and for people who are saying the Strachan era ( and im not having a go here ) they should be thankful they didnt wittness pre - Fergus Celtic.

    This is precisely my point here. Watching managers come in nearly every season, having to sign players like Wayne Biggins and Paul Byrne, whilst Rangers were splashing out Millions, left,right and centre.

    Im 20, and I can remember the dreadful times in the 90s. For boring football I would say the last 2 years also right enough. Favourite time would be the MON era, as imo he put us back on the map and basically gave us our pride back.

    20.

    My first real memories were of the TB era. Some highs and lows there.

    Possibly the Barnes/Dalglish period, just before O'Neill. I would say early 90's, but I was too young to understand it really.

    The same, the early 90's were painful - standing in the rain just praying that Celtic would still be in existence the next day, bad memories :54:

    Obviously Strachan's poor season 2008/2009 because I watched Celtic before and nothing could match that poor show.

    98-2000.

    One of my worst memories was losing the league to the manks at CP. The atmosphere was horrific. Fans fighting amongst themselves and aw sorts.

    Worst era was when I was growing up during the huns 9 in a row. Never won * all but Celtic won my heart over. Used to go up and do anything to see the game, I'd try and sneak in or double up. Those were the days, even though we didn't win much, not being a hun was a winner for me.

    These days are * depressing too, with all the money in the game it's ruined. Players way over valued, over paid and fans over charged to cover the crazy financial situation. Things can only get worse.
