Celtic Move Closer

Last updated : 19 August 2004 By Reggie Holdsworth
It would appear that Juninho could be wearing the green hoops of Celtic as soon as this weekend. The 31-year-old Brazilian had talks in Glasgow yesterday and underwent a medical, which could mean the end of his third, and final spell at Boro, is ever so close.

Juninho has indicated all along that he would prefer to stay at Boro but his omission from the squad last Saturday may just have been the deciding factor. At 31 he needs first team football, but he obviously feels that he is not in Steve McClarens plans.

There were many fans who loved him but he also had his critics during his three spells at the club. Whatever the outcome, he will always be fondly remembered on Teesside.

Farewell Little Fella, we all wish you well. Ole Ole, Ole Ole, Juninee Oh Oh Oh.
