The Scottish club reached agreement with Groningen in 2013 on the purchase of defenders Van Diak, with the total operation costing about 2m euros.

” I was really surprised because no one came to ask him about it in Celtic”, 47-year-old said.

“Speed, great physics, technique and excellent skill with the head [defansive-offsives]”, Lennon said. /Periscopi/
