    Absolutely.

    I know FIFA and the likes aren't exactly the most serious of platforms/games, but EA regularly have him in legend/icon packs in their games and he's went down as a fantastic player at both Barcelona and United after leaving us.

    I honestly think some folk haven't grasped just how monumental of a player he really was and we had him for 7 of his prime year's as you say.

    The guy left us, and went on to help win Barcelona a * champions league of all things!

    A truly world class player that is unlikely to be seen again in this league, let alone our club, in our life times.

    I'm surprised Tommy only got the plaque, it's just never seemed enough. He was a big player for the club, a big part of getting Celtic back to being Celtic as manager and a big part of the youth set up part of that. He deserves a statue or something named after him. Maybe I'm bias as he was manager when I started supporting Celtic in 94. But he is Mr Celtic for me and I don't think anybody over the last 40 years deserves it more than him.

    Lennoxtown 100% should be names after him.

    The place that youth can be developed,that coaching to the Celtic way can be achieved!

    Nice strawman

    Pointing out statues is a pretty old fashioned way to commemorate someone from the modern era isn't that weird

    How is it old fashioned when they are still being put up all over the world for modern and past era people?

    People are really overthinking this it’s absolutely wild.

    Do you just want a YouTube compilation instead ffs?

    There’s video footage and photos pf every player that’s played for us, it’s not speical.

    Bang on, and on top of the goals, the thing that often gets overlooked, around 150 assists. Combined goals and assists higher than games played. He was a phenomenon.

    A statue is the least he deserves.

    The guy is surely the best player that anyone under the age of 50 has seen play for us.

    Should have a stand named after him.

    He can’t even spell Larsson right so we’re up against it here.
