There's no question that Celtic will miss Scott Brown as much off the pitch as on it.
The captain sets the standards at Lennoxtown, with his fierce will to win helping his team to 22 trophies across his 14 year spell.
However, his team-mates may welcome the departure of Brown's rigorous fine enforcement.
As is standard, the captain is responsible for collecting from players who break the disciplinary code.
But former Celtic centre-back Erik Sviatchenko has revealed he was once slapped with a £600 fine after answering a call of nature.
The Danish international had slipped away to the toilet before a team walk, leaving him late and facing that famous Brown death stare.
Sviatchenko told the BBC : "Normally we would go for a walk first but I'd misunderstood.
"I was there for a couple of minutes then I thought we would have our pre-match meal, but they had gone for a walk first. I can remember that Kris Ajer and Stuart Armstrong were doing this 'quickly, quickly, quickly'.
"I knew Scott Brown had seen me turning up late and then there was obviously a fine. I thought it was much higher than it was so when I said to him, 'okay, I know that I was late, I'll pay £600', he said immediately, 'yeah, OK, let's do that'.
"Six months later I figured out the fine was only £150."
Sviatchenko still keeps up with Celtic from afar, and has watched as the 10 In A Row dream fell apart.
And the Dane has a clear idea of who he thinks should replace Neil Lennon in the dugout.
Sviatchenko said: "I hope John Kennedy gets his chance.
"We had a really close relationship. He was always there to ask how you were feeling but also on the football side of it, always trying to improve you.
"He was also the one who came to me and said, 'Erik, we need someone to wear the captain's armband' as Scott Brown was injured. He said to me, 'I think you can do this for us,' and I captained the team once, which I'm proud of.
"He has so much experience from the coaching side, even though he hasn't been the main man, but he knows so much about football also on the mental side of it - being there, trying it with his own body to play at the highest level and with the club as well.
"I only have good, positive things to say about him."
