Emilio Izaguirre has posted an emotional goodbye to Celtic on social media.
The Honduran ended his second spell at the club this summer and will go on to pastures new next season. He is yet to find his next club but will now turn attention to that after Honduras were eliminated from the Gold Cup.
The 33-year-old featured 271 times for the club over eight seasons and will move on with all of the Celtic fan’s best wishes. Izaguirre is also wishing the club all the best judging by his Instagram posts.
He posted four video on the social media platfrom, alongside the caption: “I thank my god to have been part of the Celtic family.”

Izaguirre is welcome back
The departure of both Izaguirre and fellow full-back Mikael Lustig this summer can’t be underestimated. Both had probably had their best days in the Hoops but they were still massive parts of the dressing room.
The pair clocked up 547 appearances between them over extended Parkhead stays. Only Scott Brown and James Forrest can boast more appearances than the pair in the last ten years. In fact, you have to go back to Stiliyan Petrov to find the last former player who appeared more than both.
They’ve both been massive parts of Celtic over our recent years of domination. Both will be viewed positively in the future. Both will be welcome back for the ten-in-a-row party.
