    Not a good enough forward line for Celtic. From Larsson and Sutton to Stokes and Griffiths? Humungous drop in quality, don't accept mediocrity because it beats teams like St. Johnstone.

    It actually went from Hooper and Stokes, who took over from Samaras and Fortune.

    Yeah, but in just over a decade that's a huge drop. I don't think Stokes/Griffiths is a higher quality forward line than Henrik/Sutton, Henrik/Hartson, Hartson/Bellamy, Hartson/Zurawski, McDonald/JVOH, or Hooper/Stokes, or Hooper/Samaras as they played in Europe in 2012. It's a forward line that indicates a decline in quality imo.

    Wasn't really Larsson and Sutton to Stokes and Griffiths.

    It was...

    Chalmers and Wallace to
    Wallace and Hood to
    Hood and Deans to
    Deans and Dalglish to
    Dalglish and Craig to
    McAdam and McCluskey to
    McCluskey and Lennox to
    McCluskey and McGarvey to
    McGarvey and Nicholas to
    McGarvey and McClair to
    McClair and Johnston to
    McAvennie and Walker to
    Walker and Dziekanowski to
    Creaney and Coyne to
    Creaney and Nicholas to
    Walker and Falconer to
    Van Hooijdonk and Thom to
    Van Hooijdonk and Cadete to
    Johnson and Brattkbakk
    Brattbakk and Larsson to
    Larsson and Viduka to
    Larsson and Sutton to
    Hartson and Sutton to
    Hartson and Zurawski to
    Vennegoor and Miller to
    Vennegoor and McDonald to
    McDonald and Fortune to
    Fortune and Keane to
    Hooper and Stokes to
    Stokes and Pukki to
    Stokes and Griffiths

    With sideshows from players like Macari, P.Wilson, Melrose, A.McInally, McGhee, Payton, T.Johnson, H.Camara, Beattie, Samaras, Miku and Balde etc

    Always been varying degrees in quality.
