Mikael Lustig is leaving Celtic, and Manchester City-owned Norwich City winger Patrick Roberts, Scott Brown and Kieran Tierney have praised him.
Manchester City-owned Norwich City winger Patrick Roberts has responded to Mikael Lustig’s post on Instagram following his departure from Celtic.
Lustig has revealed on Instagram that he is leaving Celtic and has posted an emotional message for everyone related to the club.
The 32-year-old right-back joined the Hoops back in 2012 and leaves the Glasgow giants a legend among the fans.
During his time at Celtic Park, the Sweden international defender won the Scottish Premiership title eight times, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup on four occasions each.
The defender also played for Celtic in the Champions League and in the Europa League.
Roberts was on loan at Celtic from Premier League outfit City from January 2016 until the summer of 2018 and played with Lustig.
The 22-year-old winger – who joined City from Fulham in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £11 million and has moved to Norwich on loan in the summer transfer window – has hailed Lustig, and so have Celtic duo Scott Brown and Kieran Tierney.
Roberts wrote on Instagram: “Absolute hero!! Good luck ma man.”
Brown wrote on Instagram: “Love you and will miss you my friend.”
