Incoming Celtic signing Alexandro Bernabei was so impoverished as a child, he revealed he was forced to hunt pigeons and iguanas to survive.
Ange Postecoglou is set to complete the long-awaited signing of the Argentinian left back for a reported fee of £3.75 million from Lanus in his homeland. Bernabei, 21, made his professional debut three years ago for Lanus in a league match against Atletico Talleres and went on to become a mainstay in their side.
He was born and brought up in the town of Canada de Gomez in the Santa Fe region of Argentina and had a tough start to life, as he revealed in an interview made after he burst onto the first team scene and it will show the remarkable journey he has made to reach Celtic. Bernabei said: "I lived a childhood blighted by poverty. I was raised by my grandparents and it was tough to survive. My mum couldn't feed us.
