Former Hoops Dedryck Boyata is now with Brugge and admits Celtic stint was best of his career.
It's the city where he got his first taste of silverware. The place where he was happiest in his career. And the club that turned him from a boy into a man.
In an exclusive interview with MailSport, the centre-back said: “I’m really disappointed not to be coming back to Celtic Park. But my situation here was created before the Champions League squads were done. “Celtic is the club that made me a man. And family-wise, myself and my wife had some great times over there.
“When you’re there you don’t realise it but you just never know how many times you’re going to get that in your career. That’s what I’d say to a player winning a cup - enjoy it because you don’t know when it will happen in the future. For sure, I probably had the best time of my life at Celtic.” “It’s going to be very intimidating. But it’s two great teams and Celtic have been doing well in the Champions League.
“But to be playing against it? I’ve never had that so I can only imagine what it’s like. So I can tell them. But so many players over the years have gone there and spoken about the atmosphere.” Need to get something off your chest?
