Photo Of The Day: Celtic Stars Train In The Snow

With the snow falling across Scotland in recent days, I felt it appropriate to select the following image for our photo of the day.

As you can see from the caption, Henrik Larsson and Johan Mjallby are certanties in the centre of the photo. My assumption was that Shaun Maloney was on the left and that has been confirmed. However, there was confusion over the Celtic man on the right. At first glance I thought it was a goalkeeper due to the gloves being worn, whilst others suggested that it was Colin Healy or Jackie McNamara.

Going by the majority consensus in the comments, and with the number 4 being present on the back of the shorts, it can probably be confidently deduced that the elusive fourth Celtic star is indeed Jackie McNamara.

What a fantastic image from the early 2000s.
