Tuesday Round-Up: Izzy Says Goodbye

THE BIG STORY: After seven years at the club, Emilio Izaguirre has left Celtic to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Fahya. Izzy, who quickly became a fans’ favourite after a brilliant first season in which he won every award going, left a message on Instagram to the players and staff at Celtic and also praised the currently banned Green Brigade. You can see Izzy’s emotional goodbye here, and we wish him the very best of luck at Al-Fahya and look forward to his eventual return to Celtic Park.
