Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk comments on Celtic fans

The 28-year-old joined Celtic from Groningen in the summer of 2013 and enjoyed two successful seasons at Celtic Park before moving to Southampton.

The Champions League winner with Liverpool has described Celtic as a “historic” club and has hailed the Bhoys fans as “outstanding”. The Netherlands skipper believes that Celtic are underestimated at times, and adds that the club played a big role in his development.

“Celtic are a massive club and people underestimate them sometimes. It’s such a historic club, a great environment to be (a part of),” said Van Dijk, as quoted by the Daily Record.
