The new Celtic signing told Celtic TV that he’s ecstatic to be joining the Hoops.
“I’m ecstatic that I’m coming over to Europe, coming to such a big club and team, and I’m super-excited. I hope to bring all my qualities, take on players in and around the box, help the team contribute to goals with assists and hopefully put a few in the back of the net as well.
“It’s an amazing opportunity for myself and having seen Aussies go over there and do well at such a prestigious club, it’s a massive opportunity for myself that I couldn’t deny. And being around those guys, Aaron Mooy and Tommy Rogic, in the national team camp over recent years, obviously helped make my decision easier,” Marco said.
The A Leagues TikTok page also uploaded a second clip giving a brief background of the Aussie’s early career before joining Celtic. It is also revealed that Tilio has broken the transfer record for an outbound transfer made by an Australian club, with a price of $2 million AUD.
