Supported and respected me- Abada’s emotional message to Celtic fans

Liel Abada has made special mention of the Celtic support in a thank you message after joining Charlotte FC of the MLS.

Back in September things looked very different when he signed a contract extension but that was quickly followed by an injury and then the events of October 7 and the reactions.

Life for Abada would never be the same again, while he did recover from injury his play was strained with a number of issues going on in the background.

While various reports from Israel were critical of the Celtic support there wasn’t a direct quote from Abada- until tonight when he took to Instagram.

And last but not least thank you to all the Celtic fans. Recent times were very difficult for myself and my family but I want to say thank you to all the Celtic fans that stood by me, supported and respected me as a Celtic player and I hope that I have given you few moments to remember me by.

Abada’s transfer represents another significant loss to last season’s Treble winning squad, despite signing four wingers over the last two transfer windows none of them have had the impact of the Israeli or Jota.

With another profit turned around in this transfer there will be a growing expectation on quality arrivals in the summer under the new recruitment team.
