When he joined Celtic in January 2012 Mikael Lustig was a bit of a stranger to the club even if Henrik Larsson had introduced something of the club to his fellow Swedes.
Seven years later the defender left as a serial winner, one of his last touches as a Celtic player was to send through the pass that allowed Odsonne Edouard to complete the Treble Treble.
Over his Celtic career Lustig created history and memories with one mazy solo run at Ibrox vying with grabbing the hat of a Police Officer among the highlights.
Celebrating in front of a packed Broomloan Road Stand is a joy that is now denied to Celtic players, Lustig was part of the squad that sent Ibrox into meltdown and is proud of the part that he played in four successive victories across the city.
In spring 2018 under pressure from fans sick of celebrations in the Brromloan Road the Ibrox board of directors cut Celtic’s allocation from 7,000 to 800.
We killed the atmosphere in the Glasgow Derby, but that’s ok we enjoyed many celebrations at the shitpit – Mikael Lustig……your welcome ?

Scott Brown, a fantastoc Captain who led by example, although I was coinfused and little disappointed when he coinstantly referred to Celtic as ‘Yous’ last night
