Celtic Player of the Day – Stuart Armstrong, ‘he scored belters all the time’

Stuart was a fine midfield player with the ability to score goals. He was strong, fast running and powerful, a good ball winner and a good distributor, and played a large part in Celtic winning the League in 2016, 2017 and 2018 as well was finishing off the job in 2015.

Stuart Armstrong was a Celtic Invincible 

He also won two League Cup and two Scottish Cup medals. His best season was the “Invincible” one of 2017/18 in which he was an integral part to the sustained success, but the funniest moment of his career was the game at Inverness in March 2017 when Celtic were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box.

As he prepared to take it, the players lined up and the usual arm wrestling and jostling started, and it went on for a good few minute while referee Andrew Dallas tried to sort it out. All this time, Stuart waited patiently hands on hips, until he was at last allowed to take it. He did so, and scored, the Inverness defenders having apparently forgotten that their job was to stop the goal, not wrestle with the Celtic defenders!

Stuart Armstrong left Celtic in 2018 to join Southampton 

In 2018 he made the decision to join Southampton. It is difficult to believe that this was a better decision than staying with Celtic but the money would have been better. His brilliant Celtic song and all his goals playing for Celtic are shown below.
