New boy Sinisalo has heard from Pukki to get himself ready for life at Celtic
Troon is bursting at the seams this week as the golfing world has flocked to Ayrshire for The Open. But it was more like a ghost town when Viljami Sinisalo rocked up for his SPFL loan stint at Ayr United a few years ago, writes Michael Gannon in the USA.
“It’s character building when you go – in Covid – living on my own for the first time ever, since moving to the UK. I learned a lot. Obviously, nothing was open. It was Covid. No fans, no coffee shops. You couldn’t really get out. But it was a great group at Ayr. I still text and speak to a few of them there.
Sinisalo said: “I lived right on the coast in Troon. There’s that long beach line just there. The course was just down the road. There’s a couple that I never played there because I wasn’t into golf then. But I am now. I’m not great. I can get around. I’ve heard that . Someone just told me that, actually. I’ll look forward to playing him.
Sinisalo has also been on to former Celt Teemu Pukki and he said: “I’ve heard that a couple of times. It’s funny. I signed for Burton and they used that as my announcement! But he’s a great man and works for Finland. There’s been a few Finnish players in Scotland. Obviously Antti and Teemu played there.
