    Time for him to go, but what a signing he's been.

    Fell in love with the club, clearly one of the most popular guys in the squad and for most of his time here he was a great player for us. Scored and set up a few massive goals for us in his time here.

    As much as I'm looking forward to a new face at right back (hopefully someone better than Toljan) - I'm still sad to see him go. You always go through spells of loving different players when they hit form or make a huge impact - Rogic, Dembele, Eddy, even Ajer - but Lustig has probably been my favourite player/character on a more consistent basis in his time here.

    Good luck to him and hopefully we see him back celebrating 10IAR.

    Not sure what he means by not getting the chance to get a proper send off, he got to lift the Scottish Cup with Scott brown, thought it was obvious he was leaving then and that was his chance to say goodbye?

    He has been a top player for us but it was definitely time to move on

    It would appear somebody’s cutting onions near me.

    Great servant. But this had to happen so can’t blame the club for this one. Unless they don’t have a replacement bought within the next 2 weeks.

    Lost the rag with him a few times the last few seasons admittedly, but a great servant nonetheless.

    Nothing quite like when an overseas player takes to Celtic the way he did, will be fondly remembered for many many years. All the best Mikael Lustig:notworthy

    Would've hated if he'd stayed and just got more pelters because of his lack of pace, he's departs as a winner and a true club legend.

    Bye Mikael. Good servant to the club and took to it. Will go down as a Celtic great or maybe even Celtic legend which he deserves. Good luck big man

    Didn't someone say he's the only player to play in every final of the three trebles we've just won?

    I just looked through all finals of treble treble on Wikipedia unless I missed something I think he was the only guy to start in all them and play a full 90 minutes in each. Cause Brown played in all of them but was the sub in the 2018 League Cup final against Aberdeen at came on in the 64 minute. So Lustig I think was the only one to start in all of them and complete the full 90.

    Sentimentality gets you nowhere unfortunately. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the masters at getting rid of players at the right time. Ruthless.

    It was absolutely the right time to move on but he had some exceptional performances in our jersey and I wish him and his young family nothing but the best.
