Wanted to join the " should we sign Scottish players debate" just think if celtic had signed Russell, Robertson, McCarthy and McArthur nobody on here would have complained.
My point being it is not where a player was born but the QUALITY of that player and scotland has produced so many great players over the years.

It's the players ability to come here and improve as a player is what I'm interested, not Nationality .

PaddyMaguire, why does the Nationality alter, the fact that Larsson was Swedish didn't hold him back much at Celtic .
Maybe he before your time Paddy Maguire .

The players you mention Tim would have been excellent and there have been a few others where we might have been more decisive and determined - but hesitated.
Realistically though, I suppose we could never match the cash they are earning down south and even if we had signed a couple of them, the board would have accepted the first decent bid from an epl club after a season or so.

Paddy when you look back at most Celtic players careers, the players who acted Professionally on and off the field are more and more likely to be remembered fondly than those who arrived and thought they could enjoy Scottish life.
Stokes should be performing regularly at the peak of his career, not trying to untangle the reprucussions of an encounter with a fake Elvis .
