See who made Celtic boss Lennon's #One2Eleven
Neil Lennon is carving out a fine reputation as a manager.
The Ulsterman guided Celtic into the last 16 of the Champions League this term, thanks in part to an eye-catching victory over Barcelona in the group stage, while he has also taken the Hoops to within touching distance of retaining their SPL crown.
Lennon enjoyed a stellar playing career, too; he won the Scottish Premier League five times with Celtic and clutched the League Cup twice whilst under Martin O'Neill's tutelage at Leicester.
Therefore, the 41-year-old must have had plenty of selection posers when
The Fantasy Football Club asked him to pick a #One2Eleven from the best players he has teamed with.
Lennon took up the challenge, though, so read below to see who made the cut in his 3-5-2 formation...
Goalkeeper - Artur Boruc (Celtic)
NEIL SAYS: I played with some great 'keepers, including former American number one Kasey Keller at Leicester, but I am going to go with Boruc. He was as mad as a box of frogs and liked his vodka every now and again, but he was a great shot-stopper and made big saves in big games. The one that stands out for me was when he saved a Louis Saha penalty against Man United when we were leading them with four or five minutes to go in the Champions League.
Defenders - Johan Mjallby (Celtic); Matt Elliott (Leicester); Joos Valgaeren (Celtic)
NEIL SAYS: Johan, who is my assistant at Celtic, was a fantastic defender; very good in the air, very comfortable on the ball, very competitive and hated losing.
Matt, meanwhile, was a giant but he was probably the best ball-playing centre half I played with, and he could also go up front and score a few goals, too.
Joos was a Belgian international who was tremendously quick and brave. We always fancied him in one-on-one and foot-race situations against opposition players, and, from arriving a relative unknown, he became a hero with supporters.
Wing-backs - Didier Agathe (Celtic); Alan Thompson (Celtic)
NEIL SAYS: Players used to call the wing-back slot the graveyard shift as you were up and down all game, but I've picked two really good ones. On the right is
Didier; one of the best games I ever saw him have was when we beat Juventus 4-3 and he went on these long, bursting runs and had people hanging off him. On the left would be
Alan, who had a hammer of a left foot. He would get the ball out of his feet and hit 40 and 50-yard diagonal passes, but he also scored goals in big games against the likes of Bayern Munich, Stuttgart and Rangers.
Midfielders - Paul Lambert (Celtic); Stiliyan Petrov (Celtic); Muzzy Izzet (Leicester)
NEIL SAYS: Paul would be my holding player; he had great experience and was a real leader and it doesn't surprise me that he has gone on to have a fantastic managerial career.
Stiliyan is having a tough time at the minute (he is battling leukaemia) but I know he will pull through because he's got strength of character. He was a dynamic, brilliant, all-round midfielder player at 20 years of age but as he has got older he has developed into a more defensively-minded player.
Muzzy was a will-o'-the-wisp player who could ghost into the box late, pass, tackle and was tremendously fit.
Strikers - Chris Sutton (Celtic); Henrik Larsson (Celtic)
NEIL SAYS: Chris
