Sutton/Larsson

Valgaeren/Balde/Mjallby (still technically a central defensive partnership albeit not a 2)

Honourable mentions for CCV/Starfelt, VVD/Denayer, Caldwell/McManus, Hesselink/McDonald, Hooper/Stokes.

CCV and starfelt were immense.

Virgil and Denayer.

Stokes and Hooper were good together.

Partnership between Alistair Johnstone and Kuhn is efficient and effective.

steven62.bsky.social•90 days ago

Fran and Anna for me 😊

stuc10.bsky.social•90 days ago

Lambert and Burley was a great one

starryplough67.bsky.social•90 days ago

That's what I came to say. Outstanding 97/98 season

dibanio77.bsky.social•90 days ago

Burley often overlooked, but was immense in stopping 10. Wonderful that season.

montybhoy1888.bsky.social•90 days ago

Got to be Sutton and the King of Kings, although did also like Virgil and Denayer

bandolero.bsky.social•89 days ago

Hooper and Stokes were so good together. Stokes looked a bit lost once Hooper departed.

shedz.bsky.social•90 days ago

Rog and Ic

Ffs I went searching for a Marc Reiper & Stubbsy picture to post a wee bit of a niche partnership & just realised you've got the exact same picture in the original tweet 😭😂
It must've subconsciously snuck into ma mind, then 2 hours later I think I've cone up with a belter 😂

90minutecynic.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hahaha amazing

celtic365.bsky.social•90 days ago

Larsson and AN Other, Van Dijk and AN Other.
Frank McGarvey was the ideal partner for four different strikers, Stubbs and Rieper suddenly clicked when the stakes were at their highest.

ekd69.bsky.social•90 days ago

burtonportbhoy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Jinky and Bobby Lennox

squidily-didily.bsky.social•90 days ago

Brown/McGregor
Caldwell/McManus
Stokes/Hooper

Nostalgia playing a big part in my selection.

edzelaski.bsky.social•90 days ago

Sutton/Larsson of course. At least for my lifetime

byrne71.bsky.social•90 days ago

Big Chris and Henrik
Pierre and Jorge

Reiper and Stubbs
Bobo and Mjallby

byrne71.bsky.social•90 days ago

And Frank Mac and Miller in 88’
Walker doesn’t count anymore 😂

byrne71.bsky.social•90 days ago

I know Joos played as part of a three with Bobo and Mjallby - he gets an honourable mention too.

elcormaco.bsky.social•90 days ago

Reiper and Stubbs. Without Reiper I don't think we'd have stopped the Ten
Larsson and Sutton. They elevated the entire team

tigersb.bsky.social•90 days ago

McGarvey and Nicholas

josephgoss.bsky.social•90 days ago

Most of the ones I'd have gone for have been done already, but I always liked this one too:

jamesbrad02.bsky.social•90 days ago

They were crucial in Celtic winning the league that season🍀

starryplough67.bsky.social•90 days ago

Loved the understanding these 2 struck up down the right

comiskey90.bsky.social•90 days ago

They won us the title that season.

josephgoss.bsky.social•90 days ago

I wish I had a better reason than "they would batter folk" but here we are

paddysinat.bsky.social•90 days ago

Paul Elliott and Dariusz Wdowczyk. Both outstanding defenders at Celtic in the wrong time.

kendonagasaky.bsky.social•90 days ago

Paul Elliot was as good as VVD he was one of the 1st to be comfortable with the ball at his feet and not many got the better of him

mrpmurphy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Elliot was a brilliant player. In terms of levels when playing at Celtic, I’d agree. But VVD was still young when he was with us and developed a lot further as his career progressed.

jpkearney.bsky.social•90 days ago

50% controversial 🤣 but goals!

90minutecynic.bsky.social•90 days ago

Haha controversial but effective

suzghf.bsky.social•90 days ago

Johnston could've been a Celtic legend but destroyed it for money. Was it really worth it? No after-dinner or events speaking because Rangers fans don't want him and we can't stand him.
