Vasilis Barkas confesses Celtic transfer regret as flop fires back at critics insisting he 'wouldn't recommend' club

Flop goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas admits he regrets moving to Celtic after the big-money £4.5 million turned sour leading to a loan exit to Utrecht.

The 28-year-old has escaped the Parkhead fringes to join the Dutch outfit on a season-long loan agreement after failing to make the grade since leaving AEK Athens in 2020 for the Scottish Premiership. The Greek international failed to hold on to a regular starting spot with Connor Hazard and Scott Bain being preferred during debut campaign, while Ange Postecoglou made Joe Hart his undisputed number one following his move from Tottenham.

His time in Glasgow's east end was hampered by a number of high profile errors including during Postecoglou's first game in charge against FC Midtjylland, and he would make just one more appearance under the Australian. However, he now has the chance to kickstart his career and has spoken out on a disastrous two-year stint at Celtic Park after securing his move to the Eredivise.
