Greatest Ever Celts - Paul McStay the Maestro

[DelBluenose80]

‎''We heard much about him, so we had him looked at before the games. My own opinion of him was that he is not very mobile, moves the ball only backwards or sideways, has little vision for intelligent, attack minded football and is negative to the point of surrender! In short I couldnt understand what all the fuss was about!'' Werder Bremen coach Otto Rehhagel destroying the ''McStay Myth'' after his team had pumped Celtic out of the European Cup in 1988. Because Celtic are a massive club

my doppelganger - THE Maestro

Paul is my cousin and I couldn't be happier :)

He was absolutely brilliant intelligent footballer, and faithful through and through! Paul could have chose a top team on the continent to move to at his peak, but stayed right till he finished his playing career at the team he loves so dear. Even though his playing days finished earlier due to injury, his heart is always with the club, like tommy burns- a fan who lived the dream!

@MrFranco1888 what a player  paul mcstay

[matthewmc1979]

I was always told not to argue with idiots but here goes...

If Paul McStay cannot be regarded as a legend because rangers were doing 9iar (bankrolled by the taxpayers) surely same logic applies to John Greig, "rangers greatest ever player" and captain during celtics 9iar (done by playing sheer unadulterated football)...

1BT - spelling not your FORMIDABLE best is it? Takes the lustre of your scathing comment, wouldn't one say?

[OneBillyTurner]

@TheCharles1954 the lustre 'OF' bet you meant 'OFF'....typical tim.

27th November 1994...The hoopless hadn't won anything for 5 years, a penalty shoot-out beckoned to end the famine v the formidible 2nd Division side Raith Rovers. The Stage: The Temple Of Dreams...Ibrox Stadium....the man steps up, places the ball on the spot, turns to the heavens, his body language says he'll miss, but the Maestro delivers.....HE MISSED! Quality. Should have stuck to cleaning boots and that filthy piggery.

@OneBillyTurner Raith were actually in the First Division. That was the year they went on to win the Division 1 title. So they weren't as bad as all that. they had some good up and coming players nobody had heard of - the likes of Colin Cameron and Stevie Crawford. Technically they only finished 7 places below Celtic in the Scottish League setup back then. it was arguably a bigger shock when champions Rangers lost 1-0 to 6th placed Dundee United in the Scottish Cup Final a few months earlier

Paul McStay played in the bad times and held the team together so that makes him a legend
