Pictures and profiles of Celtic players of today.
As Britney Spears would say "Bhoys". Yoy gotta love emm!!!
|
Rab Douglas (Goalkeeper)
Signed by Martin O'Neill, Douglas took a while to become accustomed to the pressures of playing football for a club of Celtic's stature. However in season 2001-02 he confounded his critics with some exceptional performances, notably in Europe. |
|
Bobo Balde (Defender)
Unquestionably Celtic's most improved player of season 2002/03, the giant Guinean was rewarded for his consistently outstanding form when the club's supporters voted him their Player of the Year at the start of May. Having all but eliminated the impetuous element to his game which occasionally blighted his debut season at the club, this strong, quick and hugely powerful centre-half has established himself as one of most exciting defenders in British football. |
|
Johan Mjallby (Defender)
Nicknamed 'Dolph' because of a likeness to movie star Dolph Lundgren, Mjallby is Celtic's very own all-action hero. He spent the formative years of his career excelling as a holding midfield player with AIK Solna but, since moving to Glasgow, the burly Swede has adapted to become a first-rate centre-half. Season 2002/03 was, however, one of frustration for Mjallby, who spent almost four months on the sidelines and struggled to recapture his best form after returning to the team. |
|
Paul Lambert (Midfielder)
Affectionately nicknamed "the Kaiser" as a result of his incredibly successful time in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, Lambert is Celtic's captain and a steadying influence on and off the field. He is now at the veteran stage of an excellent career, however, and after claiming the Football Writers Player of the Year award in season 2001/02, he occasionally found himself left out by Martin O'Neill's last season to accomodate Chris Sutton in midfield. |
|
Stan Petrov (Midfielder)
Hailed in his homeland as the heir apparent to Hritsto Stoithko, Stilian Petrov had to endure sniggers at such comparisons during a miserable first season in Glasgow. However, the 20-year-old refused to retreat from such criticism, and instead set about proving his doubters wrong, learning the language and pouring his heart and soul into becoming a Celts success story. Since Martin O'Neill's appointment, the Bulgarian, who now skippers his national side, has blossomed beyond recognition into a powerful, direct box-to-box midfielder, and there was no-one more delighted than O'Neill when the 23-year-old former CSKA Sofia star ended speculation over his future by signing an extended contract during season 2002/03.

John Hartson (Striker)
When Martin O'Neill took a 6 million pound gamble on John Hartson in the summer of 2001, there were those who predicted it would all end in tears. Two years, 88 games and 49 goals later, those same doubters have been well and truly silenced. After a sticky start to his career in the hoops, the burly Welshman has steadily established himself as a firm fans' favourite, rewarding O'Neill for his faith with plenty of vital goals, including the most memorable of match-winning strikes at Anfield |
|
Chris Sutton (Striker)
Chris Sutton signed for Celtic after a miserable season at Stamford Bridge, and has enjoyed something of a renaissance in Glasgow. The striker began season 2001-2002 in formidable form and produced a number of spectacular performances in the Champions League. Injury problems and the ill health of his baby son interrupted his season, but when fully fit Sutton's fiercely competitive style is a potent threat to opposition defences. Can also fill in at the centre of defence, but is at his best leading the front line. |
