The structure of the article and the prose is not very good. It reads as if each sentence is its own paragraph and independent thought without flow. Combine 1 and 2 sentence paragraphs together, and from there fine tune the prose to make sure it flows well. (I did the lead as an example; the Celtic

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to do this and for being so thorough. There is clearly a lot of work that needs doing; I hope to address the main points you raise over the next few days, and then think about other ways of improving the article, fine-tuning etc. After that we can

I've gone through the article up until the end of the playing career section. It needed a lot of work and probably could do with another once-over. I also understand now how spot-on Wizardman's comments were. I'll try and get round to improving the rest of the article in the next few days.

There seems to be overuse of adjective modifiers (i.e. "Dalglish's departure was extremely unpopular with the Celtic fans", "Rush thrived alongside Dalglish"). They're okay to use a couple times in the article when they're directly sourced, but in this article they need to be toned down a

Due to the above points, I'm going to fail this article as a GA. Once the above points are fixed, I would recommend sending it to a peer review to get everything fine tuned. The article should be GA ready once both those steps are undertaken.

reconsider resubmitting it. Progress may be slow (especially when it comes to getting more KD images for WP), but on the other hand there is no real rush, I suppose:) I also think that the article still has great potential. Regards,

Unfortunately, those above points signify a quick-fail, since basic issues didn't seem to be addressed before this was nominated. Here are some more points to fix as well after reading the article:
80: 244:"Dalglish was made Celtic captain in 1975–76. However, Stein was badly hurt in a car crash and missed most of the season" Not clear how these two connect. 220:"he was brought up in Milton in the north of Glasgow " on the north side of, rather? if writing it like that is normal in British English then nevermind. 47: 70: 226:"Dalglish signed his provisional contract with Celtic in May 1967" linking Celtic here would be helpful, though it already is in the lead. 52: 208: 126: 238:"Dalglish scored his first competitive goal for Celtic, via the penalty spot" just saying via penalty would make it clearer. 122: 217:"Dalglish, the son of an engineer, grew up supporting Rangers" write as Rangers F.C., since it may throw people off as is. 107: 223:"also the same place where rival coach Sir Alex Ferguson was born" can probably be removed, doesn't tell us that much. 274: 178: 156: 184: 99: 75: 280: 162: 258:"and was ever-present once again" so is ever present hyphenated or not? I stopped the prose review about here. 196:
There are many unsourced sections throughout the article. As a rule, each paragraph needs at least one source.
310: 295: 241:"Dalglish moved to Liverpool for a British record £440,000 transfer fee" add an inflation template. 199:
There are many bare urls as refs; make sure titles, publishers, dates, accessdates, etc. are added.

Give the full name for Stein and link on first mention.
