    THE departure of Emilio Izaguirre from Celtic has, of course, been the news which supporters have been talking about this past week or so, with fans passing on their thanks and best wishes to a player who has given everything to the cause since joining the club back in August 2010.

    Those sentiments are echoed by everyone at Celtic, although the club has had to wait for all the paperwork to be fully completed before being in a position to make any formal announcement.

    Emilio leaves Celtic with our very best wishes and our thanks for everything he has done in the green and white Hoops which he clearly loves. That love is reciprocated by the Celtic Family.

    He signed for the club back in 2010 from Honduran side, Motagua, and while he may have joined as a player, he has left as a supporter.

    His qualities as a footballer were evident from the moment he made his competitive debut in a 1-0 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park on August 29, and in that first season his form saw him named Scotland’s Player of the Year, while he also picked up a Scottish Cup winner’s medal at the end of that campaign.

    But even before the end of that season, he had already become a firm favourite with the Celtic supporters, who recognised that his passion and commitment to the Hoops was absolute.

    The following season, he suffered an injury set-back when he broke his ankle in the second game of the campaign, against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, that ruled him out until the turn of the year, but he returned for the second half of the campaign as Neil Lennon’s side secured the first of what has been, to date, six league titles in a row.

    In total, Emilio made 252 appearances for Celtic, scoring five goals, and during these past seven years he has won 10 major honours - six league titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups. Throughout that time he has also continued to represent Honduras at international level.

    He has been a great servant of the club, and a hugely popular player amongst his team-mates, the coaching staff at Celtic and, of course, the Celtic fans.

    Emilio is now set for a new football challenge in Saudi Arabia. We wish him every success in that venture, and he will always be guaranteed the warmest of welcomes home whenever he visits Paradise.

    A shame he left as he was my favourite player, although of course KT deserved 100% to be in the team, I would still liked Izzy to be here as a back up player. Gonna miss him. Still wear my Emilio top with pride. Hope he does well.

    Folk far too quick to jump down the clubs throats at every opportunity.

    One thing they have been excellent at recently is the PR for past and present players, it was clear the deal hadn't been properly concluded hence no proper goodbye.

    Sensational player for us over his time here. He never quite recaptured the form of that first season, where he genuinely could have been the first of our big money movers down South.

    Odd that we struggled to find a decent left-back for so long and then two came along one after the other.

    Good bye, Emilio.

    Life just won't be the same without him. Disappointed he wasn't given another year here. He could've served as a useful deputy at LM, instead of signing Hayes (a move I'm in favour of).

    We got decent money for him.
    A good deal all round if you ask me.

    I thought he did get another deal, but he wanted to try something new, which is understandable at that age and not being a starter at your club.
