Some Celtic fans have been raving at a video of Mikael Lustig that emerged on social media recently.
The Celtic Twitter account recently posted the video of Lustig talking about Celtic’s win over their Old Firm rivals back in April 2018. Lustig was talking about the team’s performance in the first half of that particular clash, which was being revisited on the club’s social media accounts.
Some Celtic fans saw this video and raved about Lustig. Some admitted to missing their former defender while others said that they would have him back at Parkhead.
What an absolute hero ?

Lustig had been at Parkhead from January 2012 after joining from Rosenborg before leaving in July 2019 for Belgian side Gent (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
Considering Lustig had been at Parkhead for over seven years and made 276 appearances for the Hoops during his time at the club, one can see why Celtic fans still love him. The game in question saw the Hoops beat Rangers 5-0 in an Old Firm derby and it had helped them clinch the Premiership title. It gives them another reason to be happy about the Swedish defender, who was in the side that day.
