    Always thought that goal was overrated. He only went by 2 very feeble challenged and he should have passed it :fear:

    Fernando De Ornelas didn't even get a debut, did he not?

    Juninho had a cracking debut, ran the show against the scum, only a day or two after signing if I remember correctly.
    Not sure if you'd say he had the best overall debut, but I think it's certainly the best compared to the rest of his career. Henrik must have had the worst debut compared to the rest of his time here...

    Tounekti’s is up there for best in last few years surely. Given the pitch, conditions and us not playing very well at the minute too.

    Dylan McGeouch and his moment of brilliance. Not entirely Celtic but an awful debut all the same, Wanyama for Dunfermline.

    Tbh, I can't remember his debut specifically but I just remember him having a great start at Celtic and then disappearing to never be seen again.

    Very weird tenure at Celtic all things considered.

    Did Scott Sinclair not sign that morning and scored in the afternoon? Players sign now and you don’t see them for weeks.

    Du Wei at Shawfield has got to be the all time worse debut ever for a Celtic player.

    I doubt very much it will ever be beat.

    Mjalby against Rangers in 1998. Took no prisoners.
