Most Underrated Celtic Players Since 2000

Maeda has scored a couple of goals just as technically good as that. The screamer against Hibs being one example. And tbh mate I don't really care what Hayes did against us. His highlight here was a goal against the scum and he did his best to * that up.

 

And one a couple weeks ago on his left peg. And tbf both those goals I watched thinking ha I don’t think he can do that but he did

aw definitely mate you get those players you just don’t give a * about, and I’ve got a very serious hard on for those guys who bring more through mentality as they probably are as players, I adored Big Mick for that.

Funny how people can see different aspects of football but int it

 

Aye we all have our preferences.

 

Aye I’ve got my heavy frustrated overrated Juranovic opinion that I’ve only ever had one person agree with me on but it’s unwavering

 

Share it with me. Convince me mate.

 

Off topic , who is the only Venezuelan to play to celtic ?

 

What’d ye mean only, Miku for that Barca game needs remembered and Fernando de Ornelas is remembered as the answer to so many quiz questions for some reason

 

*

 

I genuinely sat and made sure to memorise that * name I have zero memory of at us at all because he kept popping up in questions

If you’ve got pals that dish out the Celtic Trivia questions the other very useful ones are Koko Mizuno, Jean Joel Perrier Doumbe and Badr El Kaddouri


Aw and Olivier Kapo. That’s a story I’d like to hear what actually happened, on trial for 3 months played one game got MotM and then we got shot of him and didn’t pay him at all apparently. Bizarre

 

On Kapo:
Lennon claimed that offer was rejected.

He said in January 2011: "These are the facts. Olivier Kapo signed a contract with the club which allowed us to terminate on January 10, 2011.

"Celtic took this option to terminate as we felt he had not done enough to justify a longer-term contract.

"We were willing to look at an extension to this short term contract with Olivier. However, he was not willing to accept these terms."


Kapo contradicted the Hoops' claim that his contract had been terminated, insisting that he himself had walked out on the club.

He accused Celtic of reneging on the terms of his deal and claimed his agreement had been a contract running until 2012 - although he did note a "probationary period" as part of the agreement.

Kapo acknowledged that boss Lennon had wanted to keep him around and instead hit out a club chiefs over the situation.

The player blasted: “I wanted to inform of my decision to leave Celtic. This has not been done on a whim and I feel the need to explain why, in all transparency.

“On November 4, 2010, when I signed with the club, I was holding a contract that bound me until 2012 with a probationary period of three months.

“During the probation I required no pay. My sole concern was to recover my pleasure of playing.


“The coach, Neil Lennon, saluted my benefits and my contribution within the group and a moral commitment was then made by the management of the club.

“I expected my trial period would be converted, as expected, in a contract of one-and-a-half years and I was looking for an apartment for my family to join me and a school for my children.

“My future was with Celtic but on January 11 came a twist.

“The executive management called me and told me there would be an alteration of my contract with my salary divided by three from the original contract and that it would expire in June 2011.


“The official position was motivated by my lack of experience because we had four consecutive games postponed due to weather and I was also out for two weeks with a thigh injury, from which I am fully recovered.

“I feel a deep injustice because the coaching staff wanted to keep me. Therefore, despite the insistence of Neil and his technical staff, I did not want to stay any longer in a situation where obviously a young coach is not able to impose his choice of executive direction and
financial management.

“I cannot and I do not want to be seen simply as a variable accounting adjustment.”

Just weeks after his Celtic exit, Kapo had a brief spell in Qatar with Al-Ahly.

Agreed on Edouard. He was unreal for a couple of seasons.

Starfelt was massively underrated. Boyata had a mistake in him but I think he was a bit underrated as well.

 

Barry Robson. Was signed in January 2008 and played a huge role in us winning the Title that season. Hard as nails, brilliant attitude and underrated as a footballer. Inspired signing by Strachan at the time.

 

The abuse he got from some of our fans was ridiculous. Positionally, he was one of the best defenders I have seen at us and great at cutting the ball out and in the air.

Didn't fancy him too much on the ball in fairness!

 

I will * die on the hill that is Ross Wallace.

 

Paul Hartley and Barry Robson were huge players for us under Strachan. Think they could have been taken for granted at times.

 

Agreed.
