Best long shot goes to Nakamura!

I suspect this might be another controversial one but he did score 7 long shots that weren’t from dead balls! Similar to Kris Commons, special mentions to Alan Thompson as well, Moravcik, Petrov, Rogic and Turnbull. There were also a couple of crackers from Maloney, Mulgrew and Tierney.

Now for most clinical, can’t be someone we’ve had before. Vote and upvote your most clinical Celtic player 😀

  1. I can’t really speak to old-era Celtic, but in my Celtic-watching lifetime: Gary Hooper was pretty damn clinical, so I’ll go with him.

  2. I mean, in recent memory it’s Gary Hooper and I don’t think it’s close. Larsson was a far better play and could do magic, but I wouldn’t use the term clinical with him, it’s almost restrictive.

    For those of us old enough, Derek Riorden was “the best finisher in Scotland “ 😅

    But has to be Hooper, just a natural strikers instinct.

  4. Hooper, think he’s the striker other than The King that I trusted most in one v one situations, loved a big game too.

  5. I’ve only been following Celtic since 2009/10 so for me it’s probably Gary Hooper. If he stuck around instead of signing for Norwich I think he would have had a much better career as well.

  6. McGrory.

    In my lifetime Hooper.

    For those saying Griffiths they must forget the number of 1 on 1s he missed. The season he scored 40 Hooper would have hit 60.

    As someone from Scunthorpe I have to say Hooper.

    Saw him play for Scunthorpe, then saw him sign for Celtic who I follow because of my Scottish father. Watching him play live for my local club as a kid and seeing him play for a club I spent so much time with my father watching was beautiful.

    Was always so clinical for both teams, and imho should never have left Celtic.
