BR on Emilio Izaguirre: “In my time here, he was exceptional as a professional. He’s loved by other players and is a role model as professional. If we can do that, it’ll be a very good addition to help our squad and cover for young Kieran.”

Good signings for Celtic?

Izaguirre was on the books of Celtic from 2010 until 2017 and was quite successful during his time at Celtic Park.

The Honduras international will be a back-up to Kieran Tierney at left-back for the Hoops, and signing the 32-year-old on a free is not exactly a bad idea.

Arzani has only just moved to Manchester City from Melbourne City, and the 19-year-old would be a smart signing for Celtic.

The Australia international’s versatility to play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger will be an asset for the Glasgow giants.
