GLASGOW wasn't the place where it all began for Virgil van Dijk. But it is not stretching the narrative to state that he wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for the city and Celtic.
On the park, Van Dijk was a Bhoy that became a man, a rising star that developed a winning mentality and progressed physically and tactically during two short but sweet seasons at Parkhead.
Away from the game, Glasgow became home from home. His daughter was born there and the Dutchman immersed himself in the way of life that saw football shape people, including Van Dijk, in a manner that he had never seen before.
