    Apart from the free kicks he scored, here are some of my favorite JC goals.

    Always enjoy seeing that goal as we were banned. Liked this one as well when we won 2-0 at 11 minutes in. The movement he gets on the ball is amazing.

    Butch just to let you no it wasn't John Collins price for broony. It was rod petrie.

    He was a great player for us during a * time, could strike the ball as well.

    How football has changed???

    Walter Smith playing with 3 forwards, Celtic v Rangers games at 3pm on a Saturday. AND that team called Rangers.:bbpd::bbpd:

    John Collins was a quality player, technique was superb.

    Aye, always liked Collins plus he was a good manager himself and is a "fitness expert".

    Id be delighted if he came in if he is a fitness expert. The last few years something hasn't been right fitness wise with all the niggly injuries and players being sent on loan out of shape. Think it could make a huge difference in Europe as well if the players have that extra little bit of energy in the tank.

    ive no doubt collins is a good coach but hes got an ego and you could easily see him falling out with deila and the players.

    He'd be a good manager but im not sure what he'd be like as a no.2

    At least he is not one of those ex-Celtic players who loves to criticise Celtic at every opportunity.

    Don't see why Delia just couldn't bring his own coaching team with him.

    Hrmm....unsure if truth be told. Agree about moving Kennedy up to first team coach, but if I was Deila, i'd have surely preferred my own man in at Nr2. Not 100% sure Collins is the right guy.

    Sounds like a good idea. If its what the new man wants and is happy with, lets do it.

    Notorious hard worker, knows the club and the Scottish game and has experience of playing and managing in Europe.

    He was also my hero growing up :icon_mrgreen:

    I'd like to think that even though certain coaches may have been put forward to him, Ronny would eventually have the final say. If he's plumped for Collins then I'd trust his judgement. Positives are; he knows Scottish football, he has a grasp of the demands of the club, will command the respect of the players and he has a similar footballing philosophy to Ronny.
