Derk Boerrigter endured a torrid time at Celtic.
Derk Boerrigter has criticised Celtic’s medical department, as reported by The Scottish Sun.
The former Ajax star has suggested that his career at Celtic ended due to the club’s medical team.
The 31-year-old winger joined the Glasgow giants from Ajax in the summer of 2013 for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £3 million.
As reported by The Scottish Sun, the Dutchman was released from his contract at the Glasgow giants in 2016.
Boerrigter endured a hugely disappointing spell at Celtic, as he could make only eight starts.
According to The Scottish Sun, the winger was earning £12,000 per week as salary at the Hoops.
Boerrigter has claimed that his playing career ended prematurely due to the Celtic medical department.
“My career at Celtic didn’t work out because of silly injuries,” Boerrigter told The Scottish Sun. “Those injury problems actually started at Ajax, but at Celtic things went badly wrong.
“Celtic then stuffed me full of painkillers, so I could keep playing. Then it turned out that it was ultimately a bone fracture in my ankle. I really blame Celtic’s medical staff for that. It was a real shame what happened.”
Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 38 points from 16 matches.
Brendan Rodgers’s side look set to win the league title in Scotland yet again this season.
