    As I'm not from Scotland (alas!) I'd really like to see what do you all think, who are the greatest stars of the current Celtic squad.
    I'm sorry if it's been done already!

    Ok, I'll kick it off (top 3 will do):

    1.Boruc
    2.McDonald
    3.McManus

    Boruc, McGeady and Nakamura are the top players in my opinion.

    EDIT: Scott Brown isnt far off on this form, he has been excellent

    The current team doesn't have any 'stars' for me.
    That isn't a criticism though.

    no order:
    1. Samaras (yes he was injured for a little while but as we say in the northeastern United States: come onnnnnnn)
    2. Nakamura (the theme of the moment for him is "Should I stay or should I go")
    3. McManus/Caldwell (tie: without these two anchoring the back, we don't do too well IMHO, and Caldwell especially is showing some heart as of late... glad to see it :50:)

    Interesting a lot of you mention Boruc, but I thought he was woeful today. Dodgy kicking, dodgy coming for crosses and could have been sent off on another day for the clown-like challenge - did nothing really to warrant his place in the side ahead of Brown.

    Not saying he isn't an important player in our squad, just that Brown did nothing wrong when he was in goal - unlike Boruc.

    if by stars you mean what players I think could play in the top 5 teams in the world?

    Boruc and maybe Aiden could find a spot and not look totally out of place. Maybe even big Mc slow as he is, he can put in some vital last ditch tackles at times. That's it. Luckily our team is greater than the sum of its parts.

    This would be great with a voting tool, all pick three players.
