Football FanCast is introducing its new ‘hall of fame' which is a celebration of all the great players that have graced pitches in the British Isles in the last 30yrs.

The best thing about football is that is brings people together. For ten months you are locked together in one big family; all sharing the same dreams and hopes that your football club is going to succeed and whether your Man United or Mansfield, Arsenal or Aldershot; those same emotions are replicated throughout.

Football FanCast columnist Brian-Damien Morgan hopes that Aiden McGeady doesn't get tempted by a move to the Premier League and feels he is better off at Celtic Park.

South of the Scottish border there is the feeling that the SPL is an inferior league, not in the sense that the SPL is amateur in any way but there is a gulf in terms of attracting big players and paying big money. Too many fans that support SPL teams understand it's inevitable that they will see their best players being lured away to other leagues such as the Premiership in search of money, fame and glory.

Football FanCast columnist Brian Damien-Morgan pays tribute to Tommy Burns.

The death of Tommy Burns has come as a huge shock to all people connected with Celtic Football Club. His contribution to the club is unsurpassed, as is his passion for the team he supported as a boy and in his many roles at Celtic park. His joyful and playful personality is the characteristic that has endeared him to fans and friends all his life.

Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry is delighted to see Celtic take an 8pt lead and wonders whether Rangers have the stomach to stop them winning a third successive title.

I don't think there was one Celtic fan who truly believed two months ago that we would still be in the Championship race. Such was the way Gordon Strachan's team was performing with a complete lack of zeal; it looked like we had all but surrendered our SPL title.

Football FanCast columnist Joe Jennings looks on at the plight of Gretna and feels more should be done in the game to keep these clubs afloat.

It happened to Telford, happened to Scarborough, almost happened to Luton and is now happening to Wrexham. There are endless amounts of other clubs out there facing the threat of closure; Rotherham could be going into administration for the second time soon. Gretna is, like in most of the stories, purely down to poor financial management by those in charge, no qualms about it. But do the other clubs have a duty to protect; can Gretna Football Club be salvaged?

Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry is disappointed with Celtic's defeat in the old firm derby and wonders if they have surrendered their hopes for a 42nd Scottish title.

The brief was simple; win and you go top of the table, lose and you face an uphill struggle. It was always going to be the toughest of tasks today at Ibrox Park but defeat today has left Celtic's title hopes in tatters, thanks to Kevin Thomson goal on the stroke of half time.

Celtic PodJockey Brian-Damien Morgan pays tribute to Phil O'Donnell.

I had watched O'Donnell as a Celtic fan in my youth signing in 1993 for £1.75million. He was a former young player of the year and had scored in a Scottish Cup final in which he later gained his first medal by beating Dundee United 4-3 at Hampden Park.  Injuries plagued his career from signing but O'Donnell was a part of the Celtic side that blew the dominance of Rangers out of the water and begun a new era after Fergus McCann's purchase and resurrection of the Glasgow giants. I can vividly remember him hugging Henrik Larsson after the Swede rattled in a goal against St. Johnstone in the last day of the league; Harold Brattback also scored later that day and halted ten in a row.

Watford PodJockey Craig takes time out to applaud the gallant effort of the Scots in their Euro campaign and feels there is lot to be learnt from taking two steps back before moving forward.

Alas, the fairytale ending of Scotland's qualifying campaign didn't materialise, and the 2-1 loss to Italy consigned them to yet another major tournament without the Tartan Army. As England are thrown a lifeline in Tel Aviv, I want to take the spotlight away from Steve McClaren and England's campaign, and focus on the minor miracle that nearly happened north of Hadrian's Wall.
