The Celtic-mad striker still has a dream of playing for his boyhood club.
Johnny Russell has revealed that he desperately wants to play for Celtic at some point in the future
The Bhoys-daft striker is plying his trade for Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer after leaving Derby County in 2018.
Russell, who earns £515,000 per year in the states [Telegraph], is a lifelong Celtic supporter and still harbours an ambition to pull on the Hoops before calling time on his career.
At 29, the Scottish attacker has a bit more in the tank yet, and Russell is refusing to rule out a dream switch to Parkhead, where he’s visiting as a fan next week.
He told BBC Sportsound: “Like I said I am happy where I am but I grew up a Celtic fan. I still am a Celtic fan. I am actually travelling to the game next week as well.
“I grew up dreaming of that. Throughout my career I have always hoped it would happen.
“It hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully it does at some point but you never know.”
The former Rams hitman, who has 14 caps for Scotland, is no stranger to Scottish football after previously spending a decade at Dundee United, before leaving in 2013.
The Glaswegian netted nine times in 24 starts for the MLS side during the 2019 season.
