Yep. Pretty much everyone, excluding Bobbybhoy acknowledges it is Cesar, even Billy himself telling the story in his book about how he is Cesar and not Caesar isn't enough for Bob. |

He's arguably been a far, far, better captain than he has been player. He'd be nowhere near a best ever team and no shame in that, and as you say, that doesn't make him average. He'd be in a team of the last 10 years, but probably not a team of the last 20 years. When he does retire, in terms of longevity, trophies won and appearances made he'll be up there with the very best, and behind only McNeill in terms of all that stuff as captain (I think?), which will be a pretty incredible achievement. |

I would disagree with that. TB was a fine midfielder but in the past 20 years we've had better left sided players Collins, Thompson and Naka. In terms of drive, influence and mentality few in that time come close to Brown, he's a force of nature and underrated for his technique, there aren't many players who even dream up let alone execute that drag back at Ibrox recently. Paul McStay is still one of my all time favourites but Brown is very close to redefining the number 8 jersey as his own. |

Scott Brown was widely derided on this forum before Rodgers arrived. His win ratio at Celtic must be something unbelievable tho. For years now it's been fairly easy to predict... Brown plays, we win. Outstanding player over the piece. |

Brown's good but until he can point at team-mates then, and only then, will he be as good as Peter Grant. |

If I had to sum up Scott Brown in one word it would be....influential. We have had far better players and better captains but probably nobody with as much influence on our play. |

He was and rightly so at the time. He was the best player in Scotland in 14/15 then really bad in 15/16. He looked done, didn't start last season well either then after Hapoel at home he was superb. Now he bosses every game he plays. |

Entitled to your opinion obviously ![]() In terms of drive, influence and mentality, not many were up there with Tommy Burns, and both McStay and Burns were much, much better footballers. |

What does that even mean? Brown is better than McStay? Brown will go down as a greater legend than McStay? What? |

I'm sorry. I absolutely loved Alan Thompson. A complete hunskelper, but Tommy Burns was far far better. I'd suggest he was better than John Collins too. I'd certainly have him on the left of my midfield in the best Celtic team I've watched. Naka, maybe not. But Naka was switched sides by Strachan. |

Love Tommy as a man, but I don't think he was very good. He wouldn't make our midfield today. |
