Jim Craig has illustrated how times have changed at Celtic since he was a player at Parkhead in the 1960s. The European and Scottish Cup winner describes on the `free' Celtic FC website how he once arrived at the office of Bob Rooney, the club physiotherapist-cum-equipment man, a few weeks before the club's European Cup final against Benfica.

" `Bob,' says I in bright fashion, I've burst my boots," writes Craig.

"What foot ?" asks Rooney.

"My left," says Craig.

"Ah, that's all right, you don't use that one too often, we'll tape it," replies Rooney.

That's not the sort of exchange you would hear between Henrik Larsson and Martin O'Neill.
