Dundee United's Nadir Ciftci close to Celtic deal as Logan Bailly arrives - Celtic

sport.stv.tv

Nadir Ciftci is set to complete his move to Celtic in the next 24 hours after the Scottish champions agreed a £1.5million fee with Dundee United for the striker.

The 23-year-old was in Glasgow to discuss his move and is expected to undergo a medical while goalkeeper Logan Bailly was also in Scotland finalising his transfer to the Scottish champions.

Belgian goalkeeper Bailly was at Celtic’s Lennoxtown training ground, with the 28-year-old expected to complete a £250,000 move from Leuven.

Ciftci followed him in the door and is expected to become Ronny Deila’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window after the Tannadice side gave permission for the forward to open talks over a move.

Ex-NAC Breda striker Ciftci is in the final year of his current United deal and could miss the start of next season if he is found guilty of biting an opponent in the final Dundee derby of the season.

The player has been called to a disciplinary hearing by the Scottish FA where he will defend himself against allegations of biting Jim McAlister. The judicial panel will sit on July 20 and if the charge is proven a lengthy ban is possible.

The 23-year-old has been at Tannadice for two seasons and has scored 33 goals for the club in that time.

The admirable Murray - Author, blogger and journalist

philmacgiollabhain.ie · by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain

Spare a thought for Paul Murray the loyal lieutenant of Mr David Cunningham King.

Firstly I understand from sources that the former was not fully aware of the latter's movements in London on Friday June 12th.

Subsequently, he was confident enough to rubbish initially my reports of the meeting between Mike Ashley and the South African-based offshore entrepreneur.

Recently the admirable Murray has been attempting to have a dialogue with Big Mike about the possibility of more Newcastle players on loan for this season.

However, the Sports Direct magnate was not for taking the call.

I am told that further attempts to parley directly with people at St James' Park met with even less success.

This course of action may come as a surprise to you dear reader given the impressive array of talent that has already been brought into the Sevco squad for the new campaign.

The evidence of over-investment is clear to see for anyone equipped with Sevco tinted spectacles.

The same source who had originally told me of the meeting on June 12th stated to me with quiet authority that ??we could be days away from a formal legal request for the £5 million??

He had also heard that Murray Park had been offered?to Big Mike by way of full and final settlement of that debt.

However the world and his accountant know that the real value in the assets secured by the January 27th loan is the iconic Albion car park and registered trademarks.

Perhaps some intrepid stenographer could check out the following story for their paper:

They could ask Brentford if there has been communications from the Ibrox club regarding taking Lewis McLeod back on loan.

The second question would be relating to the dialogue ending when Sevco was asked to pay the lad's wages.

I would not be surprised if sources close to Big Mike start to agitate around the issue of the remuneration of Mr Paul Murray and the expenses culture among the New Regime.

It would appear that while they were in the Big House Mr Derek Llambias and Mr Barry Leach made a good impression in the staff there.

The employees at Ibrox saw these two guys for what they were and what they were trying to achieve.

Subsequently, lines of communication were not closed off when they left the building.

It's good when old colleagues keep in touch.

The two Sports Direct guys focussed on the essential truth about Sevco in the months they sat at the boardroom table and that this is a loss-making business without a credit line from a bank.

This is the reason that, since February 2014, it has been kept a float only through various emergency measures.

Until the business is put on a sustainable basis, then it will remain in crisis.

The fact that the customer base thinks it is a club established in 1872 rather than one created in 2012 does not alter that basic financial reality.

I'm sure the admirable Murray will fully grasp that fact and act accordingly, because any other course of action could be unfortunate.

Seven Seven ten years on.

philmacgiollabhain.ie · by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain · July 7, 2015

This time ten years ago today I was entirely oblivious to the carnage that had just occurred in London.

I was on my way to the Dix Hut on the Haute Route with other colleagues from the Irish Mountaineering Club.

We had our summer Alpine meet in the Val De Arolla, and I was in my own version of Paradise.

It was a three-day trip disconnected from the digital world in physically demanding terrain, and I loved it for both of those reasons.

By the time we arrived back at Base Camp on the valley floor the face on the martyrdom video of Mohammad Sidique Khan, was globally familiar.

His Yorkshire accent was the phonetic evidence that England now had a home grown Jihadi problem.

He mentioned the participation of United Kingdom forces in Afghanistan and Iraq as justification for the four bombs that took away 52 innocent lives and injured around 700.

The good news, if there can be any in such a situation, is that the 7/7 bombings were not the start of a sustained campaign.

In the decade since that awful day in London anytime, a Jihadi kills then they are usually slaying fellow Moslems.

The reasons for this are varied, the victim might be an adherent of the wrong sect of Islam (e g a Shia) or simply they reject the world view of these 7th-century barbarians.

Often they just get in the way of an exploding Holy Warrior on his way to Paradise.

Of course, we in the West notice when the victims are white, and that lesson is not lost on the chaps who blow themselves up or take Kalashnikovs to the beach.

Ten years ago the Jihadi organisation that everyone in the West had heard of was Al ?Qaeda.

Now, of course, it is ISIS.

The production values in the videos have improved, but it is the same nihilistic message:

Submit to our will or die.

This is not an ordinary politically motivated asymmetrical campaign.

The revolutionaries of Black September had a simple enough objective to understand.

Their country had been destroyed by the establishment of the state of Israel, and their situation had to be addressed as an issue for the world community.

The Palestinian soldiers then were secularists who saw themselves as part of a global leftist project stretching from Havana to Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.

Allah was not in the equation for an iconic leader like George Habash.

A Marxist raised in the Palestinian Christian tradition before his death in 2008 he would undoubtedly have been dismayed at the extent that Islamism had come to define much of the struggle for a free Palestine.

I doubt that those Hamas fellows would approve of a revolutionary soldier like Leila Khaled.

The Palestinian guerrillas of the 1960s and 1970s were more likely to have a copy of ?The State and Revolution' for ideological nourishment rather than the Koran.

They saw themselves as part of the revolutionary movement lead and inspired by Lenin rather than latter day legions of ?ala? ad-Din.

Dear reader, the deity fellow can be a difficult chap to parley with as he rarely turns up to peace talks.

It is undeniable that British participation in the illegal invasion of Iraq made the Jihadi message more attractive you many young Moslem men in Britain.

The UN mandated NATO operation in Afghanistan is often thrown in with the 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein.

However, the fighting in the Hindu Kush was always legal under international law, and no one had to tell lies about the links between the Taliban and Bin Laden.

The United States of America had every legal and moral right to go after the 911 conspirators just as Jefferson was correct to dispatch a fleet to destroy the Barbary Corsairs.

In 1785 in London, not far from where the 7/7 bombers struck, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams tried to reason with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman.

This Barbary state, a semi-autonomous protectorate of the Ottoman Empire, was raiding American commerce at will and enslaving the crews.

This type of piracy had been going on for centuries, and Barbary Coast pirates had taken captives from as far away as Iceland and Ireland.

The man who wrote the Constitution of The United States of America tried to negotiate with the North African Diplomat and reminded him that the USA had no imperial past with the Moslem world.

Jefferson wrote of the meeting that:

?The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.?

This is also the justification of ISIS and of the 7/7 bombers.

When Jefferson became President at the start of the 19th century, he wasted no time in dispatching a fleet to defeat these chaps.

The US Marine Corps anthem ?the shores of Tripoli' has nothing to do with Operation Torch in 1942, but it refers to the turning point of the war when a force of eight US Marines (yes EIGHT) and 500 locally recruited troops prevailed at the Battle of Derna in 1805.

The ranking Marine Corps officer there was the wonderfully named Presley O'Bannon.

Even British Admiral Nelson was in awe of the courage and daring of the Americans in besting these ?Musselmen' of North Africa.

Of course, it would be remiss of me not to mention the role of Perfidious Albion in this chapter of early US history.

Still smarting from being defeated by Washington and the Continental Army the Grand Old Dame Britannia was quietly delighted that the Corsairs where bleeding the fledging state in the Americas.

A decade ago today the Jihad genie was out of the bottle in London, and it is still not safely corked.

Just like Jefferson 200 years ago we have no option, but to confront and defeat those who would impose their barbaric 7th-century mores on the innocent and the infidel.

I wish I would travel in the mountains again and then arrive back on the valley floor with all of this insanity just a matter for the historians.

Frail: Young Celts relishing return to action

• By: Mark Henderson on 07 Jul, 2015 13:56

• STEVIE Frail says Celtic's Development Side are relishing their first outing of the summer tonight when they take on Real Gandia in Spain. ?

  The young Hoops have been gearing up for the new season at the top-class facilities of the Oliva Nova Resort near Valencia, undergoing rigorous training sessions in the intense heat since they arrived from Scotland nine days ago. The trip has been funded by Erasmus Plus.

  Speaking to the official website, Frail said: ?We have just been out for just over a week and it's been first class. We’ve had 12 sessions outside. There are two nights when we haven't trained because of the amount of work they are putting in. They are going to the gym in the afternoon as well, so including that they are about up at 20 sessions.

  ?The heat is a factor and it's probably helping them get their fitness quicker. The facilities are first class and the hotel is geared to an environment of working so it's been very beneficial.

  “The players have been a credit to the club. We are in a family hotel but they are under the radar and no one would know they are here. Their behaviour has been exemplary. It's been a fantastic week.

  ?The players will be looking forward to the game. The training has been hard work and they will want to play. They will be used to the facility where we will be playing as it's where we have been training every day.

  ?It's against a local team who hopefully will be around the same age, though they might have a few older ones which will be a test. It's a game they are all looking forward to getting involved in.

  ?It's a seven o'clock kick-off so the heat won't be as intense. Playing games is what we are here for and what their whole pre-season is about, getting them up to that level of fitness going into matches.?

  Many of the squad in Spain are players who are stepping up from the Under-17s but Frail has been pleased at how they have made the adjustment.

  The coach said: ?They know the demands and they know the philosophy in terms of the style of play. It's probably closer to what the first team are doing than they were last year ? the closer you get to the first team it's more about what the manager is looking for. But that's right through the Academy now.

  ?We have an idea of how we play and it's just about trying to get that style of play into them so they know what we are looking for in every game.

  “It will take time, but it's good trying to get that information into them. In the last few days everything has geared towards to the game and it will be good to see if it comes off tonight.?

  “We only have 18 players and a few with slight injuries so we don't have a lot but hopefully they will all get game-time.

  ?The heat might be factor in terms of the way we play as we like to play quite aggressively in terms of pressing high, but it could it really take it out them because it is so hot, so it's something we need to discuss before the match.?

“He’s a highly rated player and everyone at Celtic speaks highly of him so when he became available to us, it was a no-brainer to add Calum to the squad.”

He made 17 appearances last season for Hamilton Accies, his second spell at the club.

  By: Mark Henderson on 07 Jul, 2015 13:09

• CELTIC icon Billy McNeill has today handed over his magnificent medal collection to the club, allowing supporters and visitors to Paradise to share in his glorious achievements.

  It was a fantastic gesture from the Hoops legend, who won nine league championships, seven Scottish Cups, six League Cups and of course the greatest club prize of them all ? the European Cup.

  ?Cesar' amassed this remarkable medal haul as captain of the club. An inspirational figure and a leader of men, he was Celtic's greatest-ever skipper.

  The Celtic great was also the first winner of Scottish Footballer of the Year in season 1964/65 and made 29 appearances for his country.

  As Celtic manager, he brought four league championship titles to Paradise, along with three Scottish Cups and one League Cup.

  All Billy's medals from his 27-year association with Celtic as player and manager will now be available to view beside all the other glittering prizes won by the club during its illustrious history.

  Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell accepted the medal collection on behalf of the club in the Celtic Park boardroom.

  He said: “It's an incredible gesture and an honour to receive them and display them at Celtic Park. It's really a measure of the man, a fantastic Celt and someone who was voted Celtic's greatest-ever captain.

  ?He's just a true great and it's just a measure of him that he has decided to put his medals here on display at Celtic Park, and we are so grateful for it.

  ?He's an inspiration. For me, growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, he was the greatest-ever captain, not only in a football sense but in life as well. He was an inspiration not only to me but to thousands of our supporters.

  ?He carried the Celtic values and standards on and off the pitch and he epitomises everything great about Celtic.

  ?The amount of medals are just incredible. It's a fantastic piece of work and we thank Willie Haughey for his involvement, and we thank Billy and Liz for giving us the honour of displaying the medals here at Celtic Park.

  ?Of course, we have the statue coming of Billy, hopefully in September or October, which should be a fitting tribute to a wonderful man and a wonderful Celt.?

  Lord William Haughey, Club Ambassador and family friend of the McNeills, helped in the process of framing the medals.

  He said: ?When I was chairman of Billy's Testimonial Committee, I went over to Billy's house. I was sitting with him and Liz and we were discussing his successes as a player.

  ?He brought out an old box full of all his medals. I said ?big man, we need to do something about this, why don't I help you get these framed and put them in the boardroom at Celtic Park so all the Celtic fans can enjoy and share in your successes for evermore'.

  ?Billy and Liz agreed, and the big man has very kindly donated the medals to Celtic Park so the fans can come along and enjoy them.

  “It's one of the greatest medal collections of any individual player in the world, so it's a fantastic achievement and a great gesture from Billy to give them to the club.?

Nadir Ciftci: Dundee United have given Turk permission to speak to Celtic

Dundee United have accepted a bid from Scottish champions Celtic for Turkish striker Nadir Ciftci.

Celtic had an initial offer of £900,000 for the 23-year-old knocked back earlier this week but Ronny Deila’s side have?come back with an improved bid that has now been accepted.?

Championship side Wigan Athletic have already had a bid in excess of £1m accepted by United but?Ciftci’s representative says the striker is flattered by a club like Celtic's interest in him.

Tannadice boss Jackie McNamara has said the final decision on where the 16-goal forward ends up will rest with Ciftci, who?has just one year left on his current contract.?

Former Celtic striker Pierre van Hooijdonk, who is representing Ciftci, said: “I know that there’s been an accepted offer from Wigan but Nadir has said no to that offer.

“He is flattered by Celtic’s interest but that is quite normal when you realise the size of the club. Anyone would be interested.

“Our relationship with Dundee United is a very good one and we want to keep it that way. We will just wait and see what happens over the next few days and weeks.

“At the end of the day, the player always decides what happens in my opinion. But we are not having a big argument with Dundee United.”

The Tangerines released a statement on their official website which said: “Dundee United today?confirmed?that an undisclosed fee had been agreed with Celtic for Nadir Ciftci and?permission has been granted for the Glasgow club to speak to the player.”

The Scottish champions initially offered £900,000 for the forward before seeing an increased offer turned down by the Terrors. English League One outfit Wigan Athletic were willing to stump up over £1million for Ciftci’s services but the player wasn’t willing to make the move to England.

Ronny Deila has been keen to add to Celtic’s attacking options as he aims to help the club reach the Champions League group stages.

United fans expressed their displeasure after the club sold Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong to Celtic on the final day of the winter transfer window in February.

Pierre Van Hooijdonk - Ciftci’s agent - admitted that the player was “flattered” by Celtic’s interest in him and the pair will now talk terms with the Parkhead side as a deal moves closer to completion.

Ciftci, who is in the final year of his United deal, could miss the start of next season if he is found guilty of biting an opponent in the final Dundee derby of the season.

The player has been called to a disciplinary hearing by the Scottish FA where he will defend himself against allegations of biting Jim McAlister. The judicial panel will sit on July 20 and if the charge is proven a lengthy ban is possible.

The 23-year-old has been at Tannadice for two seasons and has scored 33 goals for the club in that time.

Nadir Ciftci: Celtic likely to sign United striker on Wednesday

BBC BBC Sport - Nadir Ciftci: Celtic likely to sign United striker on Wednesday Football

Ciftci has scored 33 goals in two seasons with Dundee United

Nadir Ciftci is expected to complete his move to Celtic on Wednesday after Dundee United accepted a transfer fee of £1.5 million pounds for the striker.

Celtic had two earlier offers of £900,000 and £1m rejected for the 23-year-old who moved to Tannadice from Dutch side Breda in 2013.

United had accepted a £1.5m offer from Wigan but Ciftci did not want to join the English League One team.

Meanwhile, United have dismissed talk of signing Billy McKay from the Latics.

Northern Irishman McKay joined Wigan from Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January but has failed to score in nine appearances - mostly as a substitute.

Ciftci scored 33 goals in two seasons in Scotland and the Turkish forward recently turned down the offer of a contract extension, leaving him with a year to run on his current deal.

He is due to answer a charge of “excessive misconduct” later this month after the Scottish FA accused him of biting Dundee midfielder Jim McAlister on the leg during the final match of last season.

If the move goes through, he will be the third United player to join Celtic in the last six months, following the January transfer of midfield duo Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong.

Andy Murray and Rory McIlroy did their best to disrupt the daily grind of the transfer merry-go-round but Celtic pulled a deal out of the bag.

Belgian goalkeeper Logan Bailly is poised to complete a move to the Scottish champions from oddly named Pro League outfit Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

And the Nadir Ciftci saga could soon be at an end with the Hoops matching Dundee United’s £1.5m asking price for the forward.

The former Celtic full-back claims he had to leave Scotland to get back in the Wales team.

Adam Matthews: I left Celtic for Sunderland to regain Wales place - Celtic

sport.stv.tv

Adam Matthews says he had to leave Celtic to regain his spot in the Welsh national team.

The full-back completed his £2 million move to Sunderland at the weekend after five years at Parkhead.

Chris Coleman has preferred Reading’s Chris Gunter and Jazz Richards of Fulham in recent Euro 2016 qualifiers. Matthews’ last international appearance came in a 3-0 loss to Serbia in September 2013.

Wales are on course to reach the finals in France sitting top of Group B with a three-point lead after taking 16 points from their first six games.

Matthews believes playing in the English Premier League will help him claim back his spot in the Coleman’s side.

He told Sky Sports: “The international thing was a major part of me moving.

“The league in Scotland isn’t great and I think the Welsh manager saw that and hopefully this move will help me improve my chances of getting into the Welsh team because they are doing really well at the minute. But I just needed a new challenge.

“I have been at Celtic for four years and enjoyed every minute of it but I spoke to my agent and it seemed to be a good move for me at this stage. I’m happy to move forward and playing in the English Premier League was a big factor in my decision - Sunderland are a massive club, there is no doubt about it.

“It was a hard decision, I had grown close to a lot of the boys at Celtic but I just felt I needed something new. I think I have made the right decision. Celtic are a great club and I wish them all the best for the future.”

Adam Matthews: Hopes to return to international stage

Adam Matthews admits he swapped Celtic for Sunderland to try and get back into the Wales side, writes Sky Sports News HQ’s north-east correspondent Keith Downie.

The 23-year-old right-back moved to The Stadium of Light in a £2million deal after growing frustrated at his lack of outings for Chris Coleman's improving Welsh team.?

Matthews, who has 12 caps, said: ?The international thing was a major part of me moving.

?The league in Scotland isn’t great and I think the Welsh manager saw that and hopefully this move will help me improve my chances of getting into the Welsh team because they are doing really well at the minute. But I just needed a new challenge.

?I have been at Celtic for four years and enjoyed every minute of it but I spoke to my agent and it seemed to be a good move for me at this stage. I’m happy to move forward and playing in the English Premier League was a big factor in my decision - Sunderland are a massive club, there is no doubt about it.?

?It was a hard decision, I had grown close to a lot of the boys at Celtic but I just felt I needed something new. I think I have made the right decision. Celtic are a great club and I wish them all the best for the future.?

The full-back moved to Celtic from Cardiff City as a teenager and played almost 150 games in a four-year spell at the Glasgow giants.?

He has become used to winning things ? and now hopes that mentality will help his new club ensure they don't become involved in yet another relegation tussle.?

He said: ?I will be going into this team with the same mentality that I had at Celtic. The manager has spoken and said he is hoping to bring in a couple more players so hopefully we won't be in the relegation fight against this season.

?With the players they have here, they shouldn’t be in a relegation fight anyway, but I spoke to Dick Advocaat and he said he is going to try and get more players in which can only strengthen the squad.

Dick Advocaat: ‘A great manager and a great man’

?He seems really energetic and into his football so hopefully I can do a job for him because he seems like a great manager and a great man.

?Training has been brilliant and all the boys have made me welcome. The facilities are top class and I have settled in well already.

?I have only been here for a couple of days, and trained for one, but it feels as though I have been here for a lot longer. I thought it would be daunting but the boys have really helped me settle in.?

Matthews' former team-mate Virgil Van Dijk has attracted strong interest from a number of Premier League clubs over the last two transfer windows ? and the Welshman is not surprised.

He reckons the Dutchman will have a big decision to make if Celtic agree to do business with one of his south-of-the-border suitors.

Virgil van Dijk: ‘He enjoys his life in Glasgow’

He said: ?There has been talk of him moving for the last couple of season’s but I think he is enjoying it up there like I did so I think the it’ll be a hard decision if the right people come in for him because he will have to think about it.

?He is a brilliant player for his age and for the way he plays you would think he is very experienced but he is only 23 or 24.

?He is still relatively young for a centre-back but he has a bit of everything - he has pace and he is good on the ball, so he will fit in to the Premier League very well if that ever happens. But I’m pretty sure he is still enjoying himself up at Celtic.?

Celtic: Keeper Logan Bailly agrees Glasgow switch, say OH Leuven

BBC BBC Sport - Celtic: Keeper Logan Bailly agrees Glasgow switch, say OH Leuven Football

Bailly joined OH Leuven in 2012

Belgian goalkeeper Logan Bailly has agreed in principle to join Celtic, according to his club OH Leuven.?

The 29-year-old, who has eight caps for his country, will command a transfer fee as he is still under contract with the Belgian club.

Bailly came through the youth ranks with Standard Liege and also spent time with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Celtic are seeking cover for Craig Gordon following the summer departure of Lukasz Zaluska.

Manager Ronny Deila confirmed following his side’s 5-3 friendly defeat by Dukla Prague on Saturday that he was looking for a third goalkeeper ahead of the Champions League qualifiers.

Leo Fasan played the second half after replacing Gordon but was uncomfortable with his kicking throughout.

Bailly made his senior debut with Racing Genk in 2002 before moving to Monchengladbach in 2009.

He moved on to Leuven in 2012 and helped the club gain promotion to the Belgian top flight last season.

• Mexican defender Efrain Juarez on what Celtic means to him

  By: Miguel Pacheco on 06 Jul, 2015 13:42

• EFRAIN Juarez signed for the Hoops from Mexican side UNAM in July 2010 and scored two goals in 20 games for the club.

  Now back in his homeland, he speaks exclusively to the Celtic website about his time at the club, and we are posting his answers in both English and Spanish.

  To date, you are the first and only Mexican player to have played for Celtic . What did it mean to you, does that make you proud?

  It is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in my life, being the first Mexican to play in the SPL? and for Celtic, which is the most important team in Scotland and one of the most important in Europe filled me with pride and satisfaction. I had a good time, I was able to play in the Champions League and Europa League, and I scored in my second and third games. People treated me in the best way, I am very proud to have been in Celtic for the tradition they have. I had the opportunity to go to Ireland, where people are crazy about Celtic. I also had the opportunity to go on tour to the United States, where they know Celtic is a Scottish team, but the reality is that it also has Irish roots, and there are plenty of Irish people worldwide. The support of the people was impressive, and the affection they showed towards me at all times as well.

  What moment do you remember the most from your time at Celtic?

  I think when I scored the goals in big games and when the stadium began to sing me a song, they invented a song and sang it whenever I played, every time I started a game or when I did something good. Impressive, I had very little time at the club, and in my third or fourth game they had already invented that song for me and sang it any time they could. I remember that a lot and it gives me goosebumps. It is one of the things that I am going to keep forever. Until today, when I have had the opportunity to return to Scotland and I come across Celtic supporters, they sing me the same song because it’s also very catchy and it is very good.

  How would you compare the style of play in Scotland, to the one practiced in Mexico?

  It is different. In Scotland there is a very competitive league, physically very strong, and technically good, but I think the greatest strength of the Scottish Premiership compared to the Mexican league is the physical aspect. They are always looking to score, no matter when it is, the team may be leading or losing 5-0 and they always look for a goal. In Mexico they always worry about the way to score, always trying to get out playing with the ball. Back in Scotland that does not matter, all that matters is to score when you get the chance, to move forward you have a chance, and if not they are not happy.

  What was your most valuable lesson during your time in Scottish football?

  I had many as I grew up a lot as a person and as a player. The experience of playing in such competitive football, trying every day to earn a spot made me grow in every sense, as a person, seeing other things, the Scottish culture, and the Celtic family. When I first came to the United States for the pre-season with the team, and a lot of Irish and Scots will tell you the story of Celtic, it is more than a football club for them because Celtic was founded by Marist Brothers to help other people, to create a fund to help people emigrating from Ireland to Scotland because of the hunger problem at the time. All these people telling you that the love of Celtic is in their DNA, in their blood. I think that without the Celtic, their families would not have survived and they would have not existed. They helped their ancestors to succeed in difficult times and for that, they are forever grateful. This pre-season I was in Cancun with CF Monterrey and there are ?a lot of Celtic supporters on holiday there. They remembered me, and told me everything I’m just telling you now, I have the fortune of being remembered for the time spent at the club and they still recognise me. The funniest and most beautiful is that they ask for pictures, and being there you realise about their Celtic tattoos or that they cover their body with things related to the Celtic. I think that has a value, going beyond a simple fan, it is passion and appreciation for the club.

  Which Celtic player do you remember the most and why?

  Many, I spent much time with Scott Brown; he is a great guy, great captain and a great leader. With Samaras, we shared many things, also a great guy, very good person. I do not really have one in particular. I think I was fortunate to be in a very healthy, very good club, they welcomed me in the best manner, but specifically with Brownie, with Samaras, with Anthony Stokes, Mikael Lustig, Adam Matthews, many people, the goalkeepers Fraser Forster, Lukasz Zaluska. And then there was Emilio Izaguirre, because we arrived at the same time and we were the only two Latinos who spoke Spanish, we got along very well, he's ?also a great guy, great player and a great person. The truth is I have very fond memories of all the people there, not only players but also the coaching staff. Neil Lennon, he did very well for Celtic as a player and as a coach as well. Passionate about the club, he could give his life for the club, and many other people, John Park, Peter Lawwell, the scouts, people in the kitchen, and the groundsstaff. I remember perfectly each of them and beyond a club; they are a family that help each other at all times.

  You are one of the few Mexican players that have been involved in qualifying games of the UEFA Champions and Europa League. What is your experience from these matches?

  As a little boy, I always dreamt of playing in European completion ?one day, and fortunately I have been able not only to play in them, but to score twice in Celtic Park, with people chanting my name. These are moments that will remain, matches that are important for the club and obviously personally as well. These are goals I had, and I thank God for achieving them.

  Players like Messi and Xavi have said that Celtic fans are unparalleled, and that Celtic Park offers the best playing atmosphere in Europe. Can you tell us in detail how does it feel to play in Paradise?

  The best! There is not a moment when fans are not supporting, the team may be losing and they keep singing, chanting, and supporting them. Or they may be winning 5-0 and fans continue with the same attitude, no matter the match, the stadium is filled with over 60,000 people, an incredible crowd. Wherever we were going to play in the Champions League, Europa League or friendly matches outside of Scotland, there were many people, there is an impressive fan base at Celtic Park. I have been in important stadia, against important teams, but to compare it with Celtic Park is impossible.

  You scored twice at Celtic Park, can you describe both goals? Which one is your favourite and why?

  I have no favourite. The first was a header against Braga, we were tied 1-1, and Samaras crossed the ball, I came by surprise and put it in with the head. The second was two weeks later in the Europa League qualifiers. It was the first leg at Celtic Park against Utrecht, and I opened the score around the 20th minute, they passed to me while I was entering the box, I controlled the ball, faced the goalkeeper and finished it. It was an important game, full stadium for a Europa League qualifier, awesome in every way. A unique experience, I remember that moment like it was yesterday.

  Celtic Soccer Academy Coaches will be in Mexico City delivering a youth camp during the first week of August. Do you think other Mexican players might follow your footsteps and play for the Scottish champions in the future?

  I think so. Mexican players are increasingly in the eyes of major European clubs, and why not think about Celtic, which is an important team and has already experience with Mexican people. Why not think that young Mexican players can do well and that Celtic can recruit them at some point.

  Do you have any regrets from your time at Celtic?

  No, nothing. I remember everything I lived perfectly, I have no regrets.

  By: Newsroom Staff on 07 Jul, 2015 08:12

• FORMER Celt Davie Moyes makes a welcome return to Scotland this week when he brings his La Liga side, Real Sociedad to St Mirren Park to face the Hoops on Friday night.

  The ex-Everton and Manchester United manager made 36 appearances for the Hoops before forging a career in England that took him to the very top. Last season he guided the Basque club to 12th place in the league and like his counterpart, Ronny Deila, he will be aiming to build on his first season in charge of the San Sebasti?side.

  This is the last of the three pre-season games at St Mirren Park and it is in high demand with the lure of La Liga opposition and Friday night football being proving to be popular with Celtic fans

  The match on Friday rekindles memories of when the two sides met in 1982. The Hoops recorded a 2-1 win at Celtic Park thanks to a double from Murdo MacLeod but it wasn't enough to secure a place in the third round of the European Cup due to Sociedad's 2-0 first-leg lead.

  The game is also the last in the build-up to next week's crucial first leg match against FC Stjarnan in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

  Tickets for the match, which kicks-off at 7.45pm, are available now priced at £12 for adults and £5 for concessions. Tickets can be purchased ONLINE, by calling 0871 226 1888* or by visiting the Celtic Ticket Office. Booking fees apply online and via the website.

  Tickets for this match will be available online and via booking line until 2pm on Tuesday, July 7. After this time, tickets will only be available from the Celtic Ticket Office.

  The Bhoys are back in town. Buy your tickets today.

  * Tickets booked online or by telephone are subject to a booking fee. Calls cost up to 13p per minute, telecoms provider dependent. Mobile and other provider charges may vary.
