''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
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!
@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
@patkawasaki OF COURSE!! Who else would you have talking on a Celtic vid but a pish stained jakey tramp!!! LOL
