Formation

3-4-1-2: Flogel and Naysmith encouraged to get forward, as is Levein. Busby playing just off the front, behind Ford and Robbo.

Reasons For Picking Team

Niemi for positioning and inspiring confidence.

Jardine as a brilliant leader and classy defender.

Anderson as the best of 'stoppers'. Levein for the silky skills and great positioning.

Flogel and Naysmith, both for the ever-present danger and winning so many tackles as well as scoring.

Cameron for his work-engine, incisive runs and cracking goals.

Busby for his hard tackling, hard running, hard shot etc.

McKay for his dependability and link-up with Robbo. Robbo for .... well, for being Robbo!

Ford for his amazing agility and skill, without being showy, this guy just played and played brilliantly!

Subs: Cruikshank (tough call, but he got a start in my all-time team!) - again, Mr Agile who saved us many a time.

McPherson - big and strong and even displayed some skill from time to time!

Jacko - amazing skill and uses his footballing brain well!

Rab Prentice - to come on and entertain us (would accept Johnstone, Aird, Murray or Juanjo for this role!)

Willie Gibson - another of the 1970s heroes, who could be relied on to score.
