Former Celtic midfielder Stefan Johansen has spoken on just how shocked he was upon joining the Hoops in January 2014 - claiming that there 'was only one option' after interest emerged from Parkhead.
Johansen joined Celtic from Norwegian Tippeligaen side Stromsgodset in January 2014 as a 23-year-old, and instantly hit the ground running at Parkhead with a string of impressive performances. 19 goals in 113 appearances followed in the east end of Glasgow over a two-and-a-half-year spell that saw him sweep up three Scottish Premiership titles and a Scottish League Cup.
Prior to his move to Fulham, the Scandinavian star won the Celtic Player of the Year award in 2014/15 to etch his name in Hoops folklore. He has since been promoted to the Premier League twice and made 55 caps in a hugely successful career, though he still looks back strongly on his time under Ronny Deila and Neil Lennon. And speaking to the Celtic View Podcast, he spoke of his shock at realising just how big Celtic were when moving to Glasgow.
