David Turnbull admits life in the Celtic dressing room is set to become a bit duller after the departure of defender Josip Juranovic.
The Hoops midfielder believes the loss of the full-back to Union Berlin will be felt both on and off the park, but he believes there’s ample replacements in the shape of Alistair Johnston and Anthony Ralston. As the Croatian international said his farewells to team-mates before yesterday’s Scottish Cup win over Morton, Turnbull revealed he shared an emotional moment with a player who’s universally popular at the club.
He said: “I saw Josip before the game and he just wished me all the best and I wished him the best too. It was a nice moment. He’s a great player while he’s got a great personality as well. He’s a great laugh about the changing room, always having a joke and it’s nice to share a changing room with these boys. So I’d say he’s a loss as a player and a personality. It’s obviously great for him and he’s done so well whether it’s been for Celtic or at international level. He’s performed well every game he’s played and it will be sad to see him go.
