Liel Abada explains how 'big brother' Nir Bitton helped him settle in Glasgow, and gives his verdict on Celtic's player of the year

Liel Abada says Nir Bitton has been pivotal in helping him to earn a nomination for the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.

WHEN Liel Abada arrived in Glasgow, he knew as much about the city as those here perhaps knew about him.

Yes, the Israeli had come with a relatively hefty price tag as Celtic paid around £3.5m to secure his services from Maccabi Petah Tikva, but expectations were low that Abada could come in and make a significant impact in his first season in Scotland.
