    In contributing to a recent Naka related thread, I got to thinking about the best 10 players for Celtic over the decade, and thought others may have a few suggestions. There is no particular basis for comparison, so its not about position or trying to make a team, just the 10 best Celts of the decade.

    Some may rate quality over longevity, or those they enjoyed watching play the most. so although, for example, Moravcik's quality was undeniable, I omitted him as he wasn't around for long post 2000, if you take my meaning. But use whatever criteria you like.

    In no particular order, mine would be:

    Larsson
    Lennon
    Petrov
    Sutton
    Boruc
    Thompson
    Nakamura
    Hartson
    McGeady
    McNamara

    I can see strong cases being made for the likes of Lambert, Balde, Moravcik, Maloney, Mjalby amongst others. What do you guys think?
