- Neither Kelvin Wilson or Tonev scored for Celtic so nobody got that one right. A little sneaky but fair game haha

- Oh and Fortuné both scored 12. I initially miscounted and when I double checked I realised my mistake. Everyone got a point for that no matter your answer

- Only @Mr Shelby correctly answered that Adam Idah played more games than Barry Robson. Find it totally bizarre myself that Robson only made 55 total appearances.

thanks for everyone who took part and congrats to Shelby on the win

 

Ah well, at least l finished in the top 6

Good quiz @Slaw, thanks for taking the time to do it

 

For me 07/08 was really my first proper year of following Celtic properly and watching almost every game.. so that team is really imprinted in my mind and Robson was a big part of it. Him smashing in that penalty down the middle in the 3-2 derby game and that header against Barcelona always stick in my mind. I guess that’s why it feels a bit weird to me that he was only here for such a short period.


Edit: he was actually here for half of 07/08 (Jan signing), all of 08/09 and half of 09/10 (Jan exit). I guess that’s why it feels weird he didn’t play a huge amount of games. Only 42 league appearances.
