    Alan Thompson was a fantastic footballer. A key member of one of the best Celtic teams of all time. The 2003/ 04 team was different class.

    Great player for Celtic though I found the conversation very unprofessional. Like two scallys in a pub swearing etc. Not how you get to be taken seriously as a journalist I don’t think. Or am I missing something? Some good stuff among the stories ie Balde sorting folk out in the tunnel.
    Just saying!
