Billy Stark took just five minutes to make a mark on his Old Firm debut 35 years ago this week. The winner in the first Celtic v Rangers clash of the season set the Hoops up for their Centenary title shindig. And it cemented the big midfielder’s place in the hearts of the Hoops support.
Stark knows a thing or two about sharing goals around a squad, having contributed 13 from midfield that season as Billy McNeill’s side romped to the title by 10 points. But even he’s been blown away by the goalscoring prowess of Ange Postecoglou’s side who have netted 20 times in their last four outings – with 10 different names on the scoresheet.
Kyogo Furuhashi, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda have done the damage up top while Liel Abada, Jota and James Forrest have chipped in from wide areas. If you throw in strikes from skipper Callum McGregor, central defenders Carl Starfelt and Moritz Jenz and full-back Josip Juranovic, the only part of the team yet to produce in the opposition box is the goalkeepers.
