Scott Arfield’s latest international flip appears to have converted him into a Northern Ireland fan.

The Livingston born midfielder played for Scotland at u-19, u-21 and B team level but even during the worst days in Scotland’s international history he couldn’t get a full cap for the country that he was born in. Arfield won 17 Scotland u-21 caps over a three year period.

Guys like Graham Dorrans, Craig Bryson, Barry Bannon and James Morrison were routinely capped before Arfield decided to become Canadian.

Picking up 17 caps between 2016 and 2019 his international retirement coincided with the Canadian squad reaching the World Cup Finals in Qatar, appearing in the finals for the first time since 1986.

Over the weekend Arfield dropped in on Windsor Park, it is a familiar path, one which Andy Goram and Nacho Novo enjoyed to the full.

Wee Scotty is under contract until the end of this season with Livingston boss David Martidale a big fan.

Joe McHugh has edited Video Celts since 2010, every day covering events in and around Scotland's most successful club.

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.

Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement.

There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same. More than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying the ongoing successes of Celtic.

    Apparently he took it on himself to arrange the balloons, cake, the booze and the takeaways.
    Then organised the female ‘ entertainment’ from the Salvation Army then left for Choir practice just as Poleas Alba’s finest (sic) turned up at his door.
    What a guy.
