In the past few months, I've started following Scottish football really quite closely, in part because I cover the Scottish Premier League for theoffside.com, but also just because I like the league and the Old Firm rivalry is for me the biggest one there is in football. Therefore, I decided to choose a team: Celtic. I still support Arsenal, AC Milan and Oxford United just as much, but now I support Celtic as well.
Celtic are a really promising team for the future: I feel Rangers are on the decline, no disrespect to them and that Celtic are the team really coming through, being led by Neil Lennon and with players like Beram Kayal, Ki Sung-Young and Efrain Juarez. They play a nice style of football and are in the scale of things a pretty international team.
There are not many Scots who play for Celtic, compared to the number of Scots who play for Rangers and it really adds some variety to the team. They also really came close this year to winning the SPL, and I think that they will have that little bit more that's needed next season to get the job done.
I'm now really looking forward to the next football season as it promises to be interesting and it really is quite hard to predict what will happen.
