David Strelec was a name that did the rounds for Celtic over the last two transfer windows, but it’s all gone quiet until now.
Strelec was linked with Celtic multiple times but a move never materialised and since then, the Hoops have signed Callum Osmand.
Lubomir Moravcik told Celtic to sign the Slovakian international and it appeared that Strelec was saying goodbye to Slovan Bratislava fans on the final day of the season.
But, after opening up on his failed Celtic transfer, the forward seems to have a different opinion on how he feels now.

David Strelec is glad he stayed at Slovan Bratislava
When asked about his decision to remain at Bratislava, Strelec admitted that he is happy remaining with the club and has got over missing out on a move to Scotland, which even led to him refusing to play for Slovan.
“I thought about the failed transfer for a while, I admit, about two weeks, then I got myself together,” he said via The Sun.
“As it turned out, I got injured anyway after it.
“But in the end, everything turned out well and I’m glad I stayed.
“It was my best season so far. It started with the European Championships, after which I joined Slovan after a short break. I didn’t even have a long break, which actually helped me.
“I did really well for both Slovan and the national team.”
Celtic appear to have also moved on from David Strelec
It’s not just Strelec that is moving onto new things as Brendan Rodgers prepares to sign another striker instead.
Shin Yamada is set to sign for the Bhoys and Giuseppe Ambrosino has also been linked with a transfer.
Celtic fans felt that they never replaced Kyogo Furuhashi in January and there could be a stage where the Hoops have as many as five first team striking options.
