  5. The Greatest Celtic XI Pre-Lisbon

    The Greatest Celtic XI Pre-Lisbon

    In 2002 an official greatest Celtic XI was voted for by supporters. However, no players from before the Lisbon Lions era featured in the team. To ensure that the heroes from the first 80 years of Celtic's history are not forgotten, it was decided that a podcast on the Greatest Celtic XI, comprised of players who did not play for the club after 1966, should be arranged. Joining me to discuss this topic were renowned historians David Potter and Matt Corr, while David Faulds took on the role of host. The three of us historians came up with a team each and an article will now be published on The Celtic Star website, where fans can vote on the matter to decide upon one definitive Pre-Lisbon 11. Visit thecelticstar.com to see the article. To view the video version of this podcast, please visit The Celtic Star YouTube channel.
