10 Greatest Ever Celtic Managers

9. Jimmy McGrory

Again, this choice may raise a huge eyebrows but Jimmy McGrory is a Celtic legend - he is entitled to be placed somewhere, right? McGrory won just one league title and four cup competitions during his 20-year reign, but a bit of context is required when judging the former striker, who will be forever hold the record of the club's record goalscorer unless Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo decide to end their career in Scotland. It is believed that the Garngad-born Scot did not have total control of team-related matters during two decades at his home club, and he also led Celtic to a total of nine finals, although they were on the wrong side of five of these showdowns. McGrory could probably have achieved more at Celtic Park, but with his hands tied to some extent, he still holds a respectable record.
