    With Cal Mac playing tonight he is just 2 matches short of equalling the legendary Jimmy Quinn.
    If Celtic win the treble this season Cal Mac will also equal Quinn's trophy haul of 17.
    By that time he is sure to have exceeded Quinn's appearance record.

    With the last matches played for this season there are only two players that are still part of current team, Forrest and McGregor.
    Between them they have played a total of 820 matches for Celtic.

    @Drakhan know it's not a big thing, but even though Bitton & Rogic finished with the same number of games - 271 - shouldn't Rogic be above Bitton based on starts or total minutes played as the tie breaker, rather than just alphabetical order?

    Was just wondering whether I should add the Glasgow Charity Cup stats into the figures as that was considered a major trophy at the time.

    Just checked and Celtic were in 42 of those finals winning 28.
    23 of those finals were against deadco and Celtic won 12 of them.

    Assuming CalMac stays until end of contract he should easily get into Top 20 of appearances.
    Forrest might make it into Top 30

    Assuming Celtic get through CL and also get to both SC and SLC finals and he plays every match Cal Mac will overtake the Late Great Celtic player Lisbon Lion Steve Chalmers in a appearances

    Could he potentially beat broonys appearances or is that impossible now? It’s mad how many appearances scott actually made for us when it’s in the current modern context

    He would need to play every game this season and next 3 seasons including getting to SC finals and SLC finals as well as being in CL GS for all those seasons, just to catch Broony

    Just to make you aware that some of the players below Cal Mac and Forrest will move above them once I get around to adding the GCC matches that were played up to late 1980s.

    It’s a shame about CalMacs injury as he would make top 30 in list with 18 more appearances this season
