    If he scores 200+ goals and wins 15+ trophies then he will be a 100% legend for me.
    Everybody sees legendary status different but I would class Broony as a legend the now, treble winning invincible captain, what do players need to do for you to class him a legend?

    Do something that others haven't.
    It's one thing being part of a good side, a treble winning side, but it doesn't make the entire squad who won last year all legends (though as a collective that season is a legend season). Brown was always on the edge for me, but last year nudged him a bit closer to it. I think if he captains us to the 10, then no doubt in anyones head he is a Celtic Legend.
    But for Griffiths, just being here for a long time and naturally amassing lots of goals isn't exactly going above what his job description is.His prowess will need to extend a bit further. Perhaps even just doing it on the international stage and taking Scotland to a major final will do it, or cementing our place in the last 8 or something. Needs to do something that stands out, while also putting in the time and goals.

    Broony is a legend, he’s the 2nd most highly decorated captain in our history. When you’re only beaten by Billy McNeill then you’re a legend.

    As I said everyone interprets legendary status different, some might go as far to that hartson, Sutton etc are legends whereas I wouldn't personally.
    Its literally all about opinions when it comes to it, some might say the team that stopped 10 in a row are legends for what they done and you couldn't tell them otherwise.
    Broony for me is the last legend we've have/had then Lennon before him.

    Yeah, can see/agree to that man.
    For me, the Legends will be the ones where no one will dare debate it. Larsson is the last one we had - Brown next in line.
    As you say (rightly) the team that stopped ten can all be considered in a legendary status- as a whole. Same as for me the invincibles and (hopefully) the team that goes on to win 10 in a few years.

    Think he'd be better suited to that pitch today than Moussa

    BR on @Leighgriff09: "“It’s just brilliant having him back and available. His header was very good and he was excellent when he came on. He’s just working his way back to fitness and getting him some game-time."

    BR: "We'd to be careful with his calves today on the surface or else I'd have probably started him. But he comes into the game second half, putting an extra attacker in & a defender off and it worked well for us.

    LG” It’s always going to be frustrating here especially when they go down to ten men and make it difficult. The pitch doesn’t help but we got the win at the end and that’s the only thing that matters.

    LG on #7inarow: “The quicker we get it done the better. We’ve got a massive job to do next week at Hampden and that’s what we’ll be focusing on

    Would start them both next week Griff will be desperate to net his 100th goal against them and Dembele's record against them speaks for itself
