    Or Pukki didn't have mentality to succeed at a club where winning every week is a must? Let's not forget he was poor at Schalke before he came here also. He's found his level with Norwich and I'm happy for him.

    Let's be honest. Scottish Premier League level is not high. So there was no need to pass to Pukki, becouse Celtic players could easily do goals by themselves even they are not strikers. When opponent line are near own penalty box, playing is like chaos. Celtic is overpowering against other teams. Celtic attack and attack and somebody will score. There's no need to use special skills to break down opponent.

    I think it’s pretty obvious what happened. Some players are simply not suited to clubs where winning is demanded. In Pukki’s case it’s perhaps a bit unfair to say he’s not cut out for it, but I think he certainly wasn’t ready mentally for that type of environment. Combine that with the fact that he himself says he found scottish football more challenging than expected and you have a recipe for some pretty mediocre performances.

    Clearly a talented player as most here recognised even when it didn’t work out for him. Likeable guy too and works hard on the pitch so glad to see him doing well.

    Nice way to say your former player. Is this the level of respect of Celtic. Do Celtic treats like these it's players.

    Teemu Pukki has hit out at a Finnish journalist for making false claims in a biography about the former Celtic striker.

    Juha Kanerva, author of 'Teemu Pukki - The Whole Story', claims the Norwich City star used to eat sweets every day when he played for Helsinki.

    It also states the Finnish club had to have a 'serious' conversation about his diet when he returned to his homeland in 2010.

    The book has just been released and has featured in newspaper Ilta Sanomat in Finland

    But Pukki was quick to point out the inaccuracies has he blasted Kanerva for the misleading claims.

    He said on Instagram: "I want to make it clear to everyone that I have nothing to do with this book or any other book about me.

    If I ever want to write a biography of myself it will be after my career. I have not been given the opportunity to read the book so I cannot comment on the content of the book any further.

    "However, one thing I can immediately correct on the basis of the news of this Ilta report.

    "I don't know who this story is from, but I can say that even though sometimes sweets tasted great, I have never eaten 'sweets every day'."



    It might not have worked out for Pukki at Celtic , but he is certainly at the top of his game at Carrow Road.
