podcast-imageMark Cooper joins Harry Brady this week to discuss the men who stood in front of last weeks keepers, the defenders.  Historically known as the sieve for its porous attributes Mark and Harry review the famous MoN back three before moving on to a general discussion of the full backs and centre halves in the more traditional back 4’s which followed.

 

Mark’s affection for Izzy and MacNamara are not hidden well, nor is his indifference to Paul Telfer.

 

Once again, this is a review of the 67 players who started in Champions League games for Celtic (prior to this season) with the aim of picking Celtic’s best Champions League XI.  To vote you can tweet @HarrybradyCU, scroll down and comment on the site or email Harrybradycu@gmail.com.
