THERE has been some speculation as to why so many Celtic players are willing to leave such a famous club to make a fresh start at Middlesbrough. Having done some research I have an explanation for this.
In simple terms, have you seen this season’s Celtic away shirt? It must be hard for any player to give his best while resembling an enraged hornet during the mating season.
I am convinced this is the reason to many Celts are heading for the delights of the Riverside.
