FS, this seems to get harder each round.

Jimmy Mac - 4.8 stars
Major - 4.7 stars
Mixu - 4.6 stars
Petric - 4.0 stars (probably the best player of the round but made some poor career choices).

Again Rolland was sadly before my time, McIntrye was a great player, solid and consistent but more of an 'underrated' player for me than a 'cult' hero.

Petric's first season was amazing, I used to love watching him playing the ball out from the back. Second season he dipped, then as previously stated made some poor career choices and was never the same player.

So big Mixu gets my vote. Never seen him being bullied by a defender, top player and top bloke as well.

oof hard ain

mixu...great striker but reminds me of a time when we weren't as good...came into the team after meh hero luggy was slowing doon so he was never gonna be the same...decent though

Andy Rolland ,,,i seen breifly as bairn when i started to go so canna really pass judegment, favourite of the older brigade so probably deserving of this but no fae me...

big petric...fantastic player for us and one of the main reasons we won the cup...but he headed to the hun and was part of a team that went doon in the only time in my life...so he's oot

jimmy mac..started aff as a Brian Graham type , never really grabbed the fans attention and nicknamed the ghost by me and the mates cause we thought he never done much but ghosted in for the odd goal...but beh christ became better and better and my favourite during an absolute shite period..i think thats why i cut BG so much slack cause i see similarities,

so Jim 'the ghost' Mcintyre for moi

A' this talk of ghosts, eh think we're actually kindred spirits going by our views on the nominees.

Spooky.

Jim McIntyre.

Mixu and McIntyre were both good strikers for us, Petric was decent first year, and despite being before my time I know enough to know Rolland was very decent and is also a really decent guy.

I'll go for Jimmy Mac, got us thru some bad times.

Check Major's goal scoring record for FB just on the invention of overlapping, although a good few of the them would be thunderbolt free kicks.

Only met Mixu, cracking guy.

I'll go for jimmy mac, quality striker, never forget his winners against those cunts across the road.

I remember A Rolland from when I was a bairn at the games, his haircut scared me. Petric was a class player but never stayed long enough with us so he can go in my bin. Ive still got a teddy called mixu, I was gutted when he left, mind being behind goal at ibrox when he looped in that header at the death. A big laddie who in the right position would always get chances, I hated when he was played oot wide, the laddie was too big to be chasing baas doon the wing then abody would call him shite but he never gave up trying. I hope he might manage us some time in future, so Mixu for me.

St Obswell · 04/8/2014 2:01 pm

Big Mixu for me without any shadow of doubt, he scored so many important Scottish Cup goals at games i attended at Dens, Ibrox and the like and I believe if he got more game time in the Cup final v Celtic in 1988 he would have added to our lead, I may be wrong and stand to be corrected as im typing this off memory but did he no get subbied for Hoss in an attempt to consolidate our 1-0 lead? Oh and he loved a Wallace bean pie tae, a coagulation of grease that remains in an artery close to my heart alongside the mighty finn.

Sorry, TEK, but if you're going to go back to ancient cult heroes, there should be a minimum age of 55 for voters.

Tek · 05/8/2014 7:10 pm

Just trying tae appeal tae all demographics Bugs.

Fair enough TEK, but eh'll need tae brief any youngster under 55 on ancient cult heroes.
