celtic don't sign bad players, the can afford the better ones with all the money they make from the rest of the league

What about that Italian guy who played for Celtic a few years ago, sure they paid a few million for him and he was mince. Donatti or something like that

In the list it has Rafael Scheidt as their worst.

Hibs it could be the tank - 12 games - 1 goal or Zarabi - just 7 games...

Anyone else ?

Surprised Sebo never made that list for the huns, and Konte would be in ours before Hurtado imo.

For the Gers its surely got to be Daniel Prodan... never played a game after being signed whilst crocked.

or Seb Rozenthal

Jarkko Wiss?

McLeish signed a bundle of foreign players who failed to make the team - there was an Austrian "defender" by the name of Dietrich, I think? And a couple of French guys who were pretty dire.

I dont think Trakys was any better than either of them.

Definitely! And while Alexi was amazing for most of one season I maybe would have chose someone else there too! All about opinions though!

How did Peter Van Vossen escape that list? Prodan didn't play, but I bet the Rangers fans wish Van Vossen hadn't eaither!

Harsh on Hurtado, surely Konte should be in before him?!! The only pro footballer I ever saw who ducked from a header!!

Must be close to Fernando Torres strike rate! What about Fabrice Henry i think it was, sure he was voted one of the worst players to play in the SPL in another edition or something of a similar nature.

Rubbish. Henry wasn't the best that Hibs signed but way better than the worst.

Who was the Swedish 'striker' that Hearts signed with the weird hairdo who made the worst miss against Hibs at Tynie I have ever seen?

Niemi is the best and Petric is the worst.

Hurtado is never the worst foreigner to play for Hibs.

Theres surely loads of Liths passed through Gorgie that were a lot worse than Petric.

:agree: yon Barasa felly that played in the LC 1/4 Final '07. Booed off the pitch for bein pish - he was, as they say, one of their own.

And while Skerla was decent at Dunfy, the best they ever had IMO was Istvan Kozma (don't think many Pars fans would disagree).

They must really appreciate artistic own goals and/or sign only rank duffers when they look abroad at Doncaster.

Pretty sure that once we've picked ourselves off the ground and get back into the top six Junior Agogo will be in consideration for this.

He'll absolutely be the epitome of the utterly mediocre journeyman we have had as of late. Incredibly lucky goal against Dundee United aside, I struggle to think of a single positive thing he did.

I think that you could easily list a full eleven of crappy foreigners that McLeish signed.

Really underrated by some Killie fans, similar to Van Nishtelroy tbh.

He was a decent player from what i remember

Konte did score against Motherwell though which was seemingly the goal that got us into Europe...

Caig's English so doesn't count.

I nominate Lillian Martin.

Signed by Sauzee because he was his pal, he was embarrassingly off the pace in his first game and never played for us again.

Nah, that's nonsens and always is when this one gets trotted out.

We've had players that have played many games for us and have been consistently awful.

Martin actually had a half decent game but hadn't played in a while.

He was signed because we needed a player in that position and he had a very good pedigree. John Collins commented at the time that having played with him at monaco he was a great signing for us.

However, Franck went, Bobby came in, Martin didn't speak much English and didn't play again.

He was nowhere near being one of our worst ever players, foreign or not. He probably wasn't the worst foreign player playing that day.

I was at his only match and I respectfully disagree. Pedigree or not, he was repeatedly caught in possession in his only game for the club, was not given a second game (even by a manager who is one of his best friends) and is therefore a perfectly reasonable nomination.

Yes, agreed. I clearly remember Sebo being runaway winner of a player-of-the-season/decade/century radio poll when he played for HunFC. The radio show host got quite animated about it all. Don't remember Laudrup winning any polls - just that slaver White slavering all over him.

I would have said Frederic Daquin for us. Played during the Williamson era. Woeful to put it mildly.
