Celtic re-sign Emilio Izaguirre

Celtic have today confirmed that they have re-signed Emilio Izaguirre, as the 32-year-old defender returns to the club following a one-year spell away from Scottish football. Izaguirre, who signed for Celtic back in 2010 and remained there until 2017, left for Al-Fayha last year but spent less than twelve months in Saudi Arabia as him and his family were unable to adapt to the way of life there.

Now, however, the Honduras international is back where many believe that he belongs as Celtic continue to go in pursuit of both European and domestic glory. Under the tutelage of Brendan Rodgers, we could see Izaguirre improve even more than he already has, as he enters what will likely be the final phase of his career.

Celtic are coming off the back of a 1-1 European draw against AEK Athens on Wednesday night and will face Hearts tomorrow in a big Scottish Premier League encounter.
