If I can achieve for Celtic what I have achieved for Hibs, then I feel I will have done well for them.

My proudest moment? Every Friday morning when I look at the board at Celtic Park and see my name on the team sheet for tomorrow's game.

There is no substitute for experience

Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they don't shrink to fit inferior players

Unlike many other Celts, I cannot claim that Celtic was my first love but I can say that it will be my last love.

No Scot ever made a bigger impact on a club than Bill Shankly. Others may claim an equal share of trophies and Matt Busby comes to mind with his wonderful record crowned by the European Cup, but not even Matt would claim the kinship with the fans that Bill enjoyed. He was what football was all about. I can't praise him higher than that.

Without fans who pay at the turnstile, football is nothing. Sometimes we are inclined to forget that. The only chance of bringing them into stadiums is if they are entertained by what happens on the football field.
