Jack Fitzwater hopes he will not cross paths with Kyogo Furuhashi and Ryan Kent anytime soon after naming the pair as the most difficult opponents he has faced in Scotland.
Former West Brom defender Fitzwater is expected to return south of the border after allowing his contract to run down at Livingston.
The 25-year-old has already admitted that his three-year spell in the Premiership has been the making of him.
But the centre-back admits he will be happy to see the back of free-scoring Celtic striker Kyogo and winger Kent, who has just left Rangers.
Fitzwater said: “The most annoying player I came up against was Kyogo, he’s sharp and he’s actually quite dirty as a player off the ball.
“There are a lot of tough opponents I’ve come up against up here but I would say Kyogo and Ryan Kent, the season they won the league.
“Connor Goldson would hit a diagonal over my head and it would be hard for Nicky Devlin to track Kent’s runs in behind.
“On his day, he was literally unplayable; speed, power. I would say those two are the hardest I’ve faced.
“It’s full of great players up here and the league is only getting better as well.
"You can see the increase in quality each season and that season there was very hard.”
Meanwhile, a new shock contender has emerged for the vacant Celtic job.
Pascal Jansen is reportedly on a list of names that Parkhead chiefs are considering as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
The Scottish Sun claims that the Hoops could rival both Ajax and PSV Eindhoven for the 50-year-old, who appears to be a man in demand.
The London-born gaffer is fresh off the back of leading AZ Alkmaar to fourth in the Eredivisie.
His side were also narrowly knocked out of the Europa Conference League by eventual winners West Ham in the semi-finals.
Jansen has never worked in the UK before but is well known for his attractive style of football.
While this would clearly be suitable for Celtic and the players they currently have in their squad, it seems that they would need to act fast if he's their preferred choice, with other clubs also keeping tabs.
