The Dutchman never established himself at Celtic but seems on course for Premiership football with Southampton.
Last night’s 1-1 draw at West Ham was laced with controversy with Hooiveld inevitably close to the action.
“I got away with a handball that evened out the penalty later given (wasn’t one),” he told his 21,000 twitter followers. “The red card was decided by the linesman. Clear view.”
After a lively exchange between fans of both clubs on twitter he added: “Love the reactions from both sides I’m getting, it shows that football is a game of emotions. Lot of emotions.”
Elsewhere last night Niall McGinn scored for Brentford away to Colchester but was unable to prevent his side losing 2-1.
Darren O’Dea was in the Leeds side that lost 2-1 at Coventry with Daryl Murphy playing for Ipswich in their 1-0 win at Portsmouth.
