LIAM MILLER TO PLAY TONIGHT
for Celtic since agreeing to move to United:
‘Even at the height of his short-lived fame at Celtic Park,
Liam Miller was hardly the most visible footballer.
Yesterday, the shy young man from Cork who managed to enrage
a multitude by pledging his future to Manchester United,
slipped quietly into Glasgow Airport to become the most
unlikely passenger on Celtic’s flight to Barcelona.
‘The Ireland midfield player was thought to be unlikely to
play for the club again, after announcing his intent to
defect by signing a pre-contract agreement with the
Barclaycard Premiership champions during the January
transfer window.
‘Officially, a pelvic injury picked up in December was the
reason given for Miller’s disappearance from the Celtic
scene but that was too much of a coincidence. O’Neill
desperately wanted to keep the 22-year-old and the player’s
form in the Champions League group — where he scored twice —
had hinted at a long and fruitful relationship.’
