Tommy's Tribute: Cesar names starting XI

Last updated : 28 May 2009 By Mikbhoy

The decisions have now been made and the team to face the current side is as follows:

1. Packie Bonner

2. Tom Boyd

3. Tosh McKinlay

4. Malky Mackay

5. Derek Whyte

6. Roy Keane

7. Joe Miller

8. Stilian Petrov

9. Jorge Cadete

10. Pierre Van Hooijdonk

11. Simon Donnelly

Billy and Paul had no worries on the skills of all of those available for selection but they've chosen a starting eleven with maybe a bit more stamina than those veterans who will begin the game sitting on the bench.

Packie Bonner will captain the side which will see two of the 'Three Amigos' return to Celtic Park in homage to their former boss. Goal machines Pierre Van Hooijdonk and Jorge Cadete will form the spearhead of the attack in front of a Roy Keane inspired midfield.

Manager McNeill will have no shortage of quality on the bench and he and the Maestro will be able to call on the abilities of Neil Lennon, Kenny Dalglish, John Hartson, Andy Walker, Alan Stubbs, Murdo MacLeod, Rudi Vata, Peter Grant, Tommy Johnson, Paul Lambert, George McCluskey, Stewart Kerr, Jim McIntyre and Lex Baillie.

Islam Feruz will represent the Youth Academy
Jonathan Burns, Tommy's son, will also play and the young man will represent his dad in this wonderful tribute to the much loved Celtic legend. Many fans will also be eager to get a first glimpse of the highly rated Islam Feruz. Young Izzy will represent the Celtic Youth Academy, so close to Tommy's heart, and he has been touted as the finest prospect of his generation by many in the game.

The match will be broadcast live on BBC Alba for those unable to attend and further news on the teams can be found at: http://www.tommyburnstribute.com/
