Photo Of The Day: Two Remaining

Today’s photo of the day looks at the huge turnaround at Celtic over the last five years.

The chosen image dates back to August 2018, when the Hoops beat Suduva 3-0 at Paradise in the Europa League Qualifiers. Leigh Griffiths, Callum McGregor and Kristoff Ajer got the goals.

Of those players pictured (above) only two remain – Mikey Johnston and Callum McGregor. Brendan Rodgers subsequently resigned, Scott Brown retired, while Griffiths, Boyata, Lustig, Ntcham, Gordon, Sinclair and Ajer all earned transfers away from the club. Kieran Tierney was the 11th player, out of shot.

Three subsititutions were made that night – Hayes, Izaguirre and Christie all coming on – each have now departed the club too.

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
