Yesterday
we reported that Virgo was on his way to Celtic. This has now been
confirmed, and Adam is said to be stunned after the shock move. He has
only been able to dream of what is to come, never imagining he would be
playing for his heroes!
"The manager spoke to me to tell me that the
club had accepted an offer, and he tried to make me guess the club," Virgo
explained.
"I named a few Championship clubs, but when he
told me it was Celtic my jaw hit the floor; it was amazing."
Although Virgo played a very important role in
our promotion to The Championship, and throughout last season keeping us
in the league, the fans are pleased that he is happy with the move.
But what do the Celtic fans think? Virgo is
not a well known player in Scotland, however many are willing to give him
the opportunity for him to prove himself.
From the interviews Virgo has undertaken
during the move, he has remained extremely positive, and cannot wait to
get playing. He says "What they have done in Europe in recent seasons has
been amazing, and I would love to be a part of that."
Setting his sights even higher, Virgo is
aiming to get into the Scotland setup - and he knows there is only one way
of getting there, but playing well for Celtic...
In one of his last interviews for Brighton, he
thanked the fans for their support, and even said he had visited North
Stand Chat to look at the messages of support left for his by fans of the
club. Many had described what they felt were their best moments of his
career at the club, with the majority saying the extra time goal in the
pouring rain against Swindon was the best.
McGhee, a former Celt himself has been
preparing Virgo for the move, describing the club and the Old Firm
rivalry!
The club is losing an exceptional player, and
once again we would like to wish him the best of luck in his future at
Celtic, and beyond...
Seagulls!
