Jackie McNamara has published the tactics board that could have made Celtic champions of Europe!
Yesterday the old team reconvened for a ‘Match for Cancer’ involving Stan Petrov and James Milner with Brendan Rodgers able to select from an incredible pool of talent.
The Seville squad of 2003 were well represented with Henrik Larsson given some quality support in the form of Hristo Stoichkov and Robbie Keane.
At their peak Stoichkov and Keane were among the highest rated players in Europe with a combined tally of over 100 international goals.
If Martin O’Neill had the benefit of a time machine adding either striker to his pool in 2003 would have given Celtic an incredible strike-force although perhaps Artur Boruc replacing Magnus Hedman in goals may have been more effective.
Yesterday’s match ended in a sporting 3-3 draw with Ashley Young of Manchester United an unlikely scorer for Celtic alongside Keane and Gabby Agbonlaho.
