    Maybe Robson. But he would have had to maintain his game for years. Was slipping when we sold.

    but never Donati :56: and JVOH is a favourite/hero for me but not a legend.

    Robson was a good player for us and should never have been sold but he was never ever ever going to become a Celtic legend. Never.

    I'd go for Cadete and definitely Viduka just think of the goals they would have scored if they'd stayed but I suppose them leaving opened the door for other guys who did become legends ie Henke and Sutton.

    He was a cult hero after those goals against the scum and man who but he barely kicked a ball in his last season and was on the decline imo.

    Also thought the same about Marshall. At the time he was far superior than Douglas.

    Also have the unshakeable feeling he will be back with us one day.

    shame liam miller turned out to be a wee shelfish greedy idiot, he could easily be celtics best player if he stayed but look at him now - at struggling hibs
    might sound hash but IMO he deserves it:50:
