Brown VS McGregor - Most important Captain?

We have been/are blessed to have captains like these two guys, but who have in you're opinion been the most influential and most important captain for us?

I must go with Scott Brown. The attitude and grit he added was unmatched imo. His banter, aura and everything just spread through every squad he captained.

It is a great thing that this is debatable though.

 

I think we’ve been blessed with two brilliant players and captains, and both totally different in how they lead the team.

Has to be Brown at least currently, but McGregor has done a great job of replacing him and is probably the better player of the two.

Both club legends.

 

Love them both but for impact as a captain and leadership qualities to with along with it I gotta go with Broony.

 

Not sure if i can add a Poll, can a mod please add one?

 

Calmac is definitely the better football player but Broony evoked fear in opponents always with a sense of humour and huns absolutely hated him so Broony for me.

 

* of a question, went for Cal but could easily change my opinion tomorrow to Broony but I think by the end of Cals career it will be him

 

Both had detractors before they were appointed captain, both have captained us during an immensely successful time for the club. Broony has admitted publicly that he was a bit naive when he first took on the role as captain and it's no secret that Rodgers helped Broony improve his professionalism off the pitch in order to extend his career. McGregor has had those higher standards implemented before he was captain so he has continued them since becoming captain himself, following Broony. That, plus McGregor being a better footballer meaning he can lead by example better on the pitch, is why I'd say McGregor is the better captain overall.

 

Most Important and Better Captain are both different questions and could provide two different answers. I make this point not to nitpick, but to highlight how close the question is, that the wording could make a difference.

I'd say, the most important/influential is Brown - captained us for the 9 in a row and invincible treble and then more. I think he drags some players through games and when motivation may lack from the touchline, Brown is there to make sure there is passion and motivation on the pitch.

Mcrgregor though may be the "better" one, in that he is the more technical player and having him playing is a much bigger deal than needing Brown to play. We miss McGregor a lot more as a footballer than we would Brown. I also think McGregor leads with more "professionalism" (for lack of a better term, not meant as a slight to Brown) and is a model pro in the role of Captain.

Gun to a head, which one would I pick to see us win a cup final - I think Brown edges it. But it's very, very, very * close.

 

That said, "shitebag" from CalMac against a hun was top notch!

 

You only have to listen to that interview the other day McGregor gave saying he looked up to Broony and tried to sponge as much of that leadership ability and experience from him to answer that question. McGregor is a better footballer but overall Brown was the dictionary definition of what a good leader is and should be. Dependable, fierce, professional, loyal, and always had his team-mates backs when opponents would try intimidate or bully them.

 

What a great question
Brown gets the nod from me.
Both great leaders, both lead by example, no doubt CalMac is the better footballer.....but the fear factor, the intimidation element, the Shithousery from Brown - I genuinely miss it. I believe it is that ability to get a little bit more out of his team mates and diminish the oppositions effectiveness, that swings it for me.

 

Mentally, Brown had to overcome more, with the death of his sister for example. It's close, but will go with Broony, as he turned his career around, after Hartley and Robson were first picks before him.

 

Tough call but Broony is * iconic

 

This is a great answer. Cal is a absolute legend. Broony is a Absolute legend and a true icon. He will never ever be forgotten.

 

I think folk are misremembering Broony's overall professionalism in the earlier parts of his career.

 

It's always a difficult question, when one is still leading us to success on the park. When CalMac retires, he could be ahead for me.

 

Broony for me..
