“There is a certain amount of pressure that comes with representing the club, but all players want to play at the highest level and for the biggest clubs. “That’s what comes with it, so it’s pretty cool to represent the club.
“It’s an atmosphere that is right up there with the very best in the world.
“The players that have played here and the top players who have come to Celtic Park from around the world have only spoken incredibly highly of it.
‘It’s an amazing place to play and you certainly feel the support when you are out there.”
