Celtic: Some Hoops fans talk about McKinlay

Some Celtic fans have been discussing the latest post about Tosh McKinlay that was relayed on Twitter recently.

A Hoops-related page with the name St. Anthony recently posted about McKinlay and hailed him for giving ‘good service’ at Parkhead. But it was also written that the Bhoys should have signed the player ten years before they actually signed him.

On seeing this post, many Celtic fans talked about McKinlay. Many of them hailed him for his contributions and abilities.

Great wee player, wee Tosh loves the Celtic. Wand of a left foot.

Great player was Tosh… Best crosser of the ball for a few years back in the day.

Would love him in the current squad – big Bayo would be worth a fortune

Would be worth a fortune in today’s game with modern day full back role

One fan even mentioned the famous bust-up between Tosh and Henrik Larsson.

Although the supporters were unhappy when Tosh had a bust up with Henrik on the training field.

McKinlay was with the Celtic Boys Club in his initial years but he had left for Dundee soon after. But later in his career, the full-back returned to Parkhead in November of 1994. He then left the club in the winter of 2000 and even had loan spells at Stoke City and Swiss club Grasshoppers (via Transfermarkt).

What do we think?

McKinlay won a single Scottish Cup at Celtic (via Transfermarkt) and since he had two stints at the club, it shows how much it meant to him. The comments of the Celtic fans show that they surely still love him and remember him fondly.
