MY PERFECT XI BRIAN MCCLAIR

The Scot selects a side filled with Manchester United and Celtic legends, plus a beloved commentator

- 

PETER SCHMEICHEL

“He was the grumpiest. Peter was always good at giving defenders grief, but not taking it from others. Still, he was a great goalkeeper and a very clear communicator. As a goalie, you need to be in charge, and he had the confidence and belief in himself to do that.”

DANNY MCGRAIN

“A wonderful player and a great man. He was great to me during my four years at Celtic. Comfortable playing across the backline and a good teacher - he was always positive and would guide you through matches. He also gave very good advice away from the pitch too, which I always appreciated.”

GARY PALLISTER

“There was always this debate among our United colleagues about who was the laziest, me or Gary. I'd say Gary, although I’m sure he'd say it was me. But I'd pick him because he was a good friend, a great teammate and such an intelligent defender.”
