HAYES: THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT

JONNY HAYES has thanked the Celtic fans - for entertaining him!

The £1.3million summer arrival from Aberdeen (left) made his competitive home debut at a packed Parkhead when he came on as a substitute during the midweek 4-0 Champions League win over Linfield.

And the Republic of Ireland winger admitted it was an unforgettable experience, on and off the park.

Hayes said: “For a while I was caught up just looking at the crowd - it was quite entertaining.

“Being part of it rather than looking on from the outside was brilliant. It was a great atmosphere. It has been brilliant since signing. I am getting more and more comfortable around the place.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction, playing games straight away.”

Meanwhile, Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne has urged Scottish football to move on and abandon the attempts to strip Rangers of titles for the use of EBT’S and the subsequent breaking of SFA registration rules.

He said: “We all have to work hard in getting everyone focused and pulling together. What has happened in the past has happened. Hopefully, there have been a lot of lessons learned by coming through it.”
