Best passer goes to the legend that is Paul ‘the maestro’ McStay. An exceptional player who really embodies the phrase ‘faithful through and through’.

Nakamura swerving screamer against the huns or Alan Thompson crossbar and in vs them too!
Shaun Maloney scored some screamers
Has to be nakamura
Alan Thompson had a great shot on him. Scored a few from outside the box.
Turnbull.
I know it’s recency bias but CalMac the last few weeks has been 😙👌
Kris Commons
Naka
Nakamura free kick against Man United and one of the best keepers ever at Parkhead in the CL. End thread.
Thomo
Thom could hit them.
Commons. He was world-class at hitting long shots. Otherwise pretty mediocre footballer and, seemingly, a prick.
Lennon built his team around this single quality.
Honorable mentions go to Nakamura. Spectacular goals in general but very seldomly from open play and those, in the main, were from short ranges. Except that absolute cracker in the 2-1 game.
Tommy Gemmell’s thunderbastard in Lisbon gets my vote.
Commons. Pre ankle injury
Best free kick taker = naka…. best long shot Alan Thompson’s left peg…. favourite long shot goal = John hartson vs Liverpool, absolute 🚀
Big Pierre was a dead ball specialist too. But Naka pips him when it comes to goals outside the box.
Tommy Gemmil
I used to watch Thomas Gravesen in the warm up taking shots at goal that broke the sound barrier. Never really did it much in game though so I’d have to give it it to Naka for the sublime technique he had on long shots/free kicks .
Naka
It has to be Kris Commons! Some of those long range strikes he nailed are legendary!
Can’t believe no one has suggested Lubo…..
Nakamura
Cha du rei surely had to be
Kieran tierney when he was captain
Andy Thom
Nakamura or Andreas Thom
Has to be Naka but special shout out to Tom Rogic
Ryan Christie. Nobody came close to the heights he reached.
Andy thom
Soro when he actually took a shot
Nakamura , Thompson had belters …. More recent players who scored some belters for us would be commons , mulgrew and bitton
It’s between nakamura and commons for me
Andreas Thom.
Everybody saying Naka is forgetting Big Tam Rogic being lethal from distance.
Nakamura
It’s Nakamura but Lamberts against them was the best of all time. Maybe the most important goal in my lifetime
