I wouldn't say best player but certainly our most important player atm. Wasn't the best footballing spectical, which can be said about the vast majority of Old Firms but it was a pleasant result. Good to see McGeady knocking hard-man Alex Rae's tooth out.

Good pics there eirebhoy

But I have to ask, do you actually advocate this kind of behaviour on the football field?

I don't normally watch Scottish football, in any shape or form, but I watched this match out of curiosity. Not Impressed.

The amount of clear bookings that the ref let go were unbelievable to say the least.

Yeah, I love to see a good aggresive old firm match. If you thought this match was bad you want to see the one earlier in the season. The ref's always let thing go in Old Firm's, just like the good old days of football, nothing worse than Spanish style card fest.

McGeady turned as he went into the tackle as he saw Rae was going to take him out. Rae hit McGeadys shoulder and knocked a tooth out. It was not a foul, it was a collision. It was funny to see though as Rae is a self styled hardman. Naasty piece of work he is

I would say our most important player is Sutton. Our best player technically is McGeady. Hartson is certainly scoring the goals but we rely on the long ball/set pieces too much when we play with him.

I wish we could get a nimble pacey frontman to complement Sutton & Hartson. Camara does not do it for me.

I would think Sutton is Celtic's most important player too , but then im not the supporter .His goal against Milan(?) in the Champions League really shows his commitment and determination .

What, because a striker scores a goal it shows he is committed and determined?

I'm not trying to be fecetious or anything, but that would mean that Ruud Van Nistelrooy is Manchester United's most committed and determined player ever to play for them in the Champions League.

If you remember/have seen the goal in the first place , im sure you would agree that this goal showd as much commitment and determination as anything else on a football field .

I think you mean Barcelona where he equalised after Celtic took a hammering in the 1st half.

According to you, a striker cannot score a goal that is classed as commited and determined?

You seem to be raising a point when there is none.
