    Ledley himself had Premier League options with the likes of Stoke City when he left Cardiff, but shunned England’s top flight for Glasgow.

    He copped a lot of flak at the time from some Cardiff fans, who claimed he wasn’t taking a step up from the Bluebirds.

    But Ledley believes the Barcelona result proves his decision was vindicated.“People down south always said, ‘Why are you joining Celtic?’ and things like that,” continued Ledley.

    “But I’ve just proved them wrong basically – again. People are always going to criticise Scottish football for some reason.

    “But personally, I think it is a fantastic league. To play in the Champions League is a huge honour too.”

    Love Super Joe :D Although hes not at 100% this season yet which is understandable due to his injury.

    He has caught the Celtic bug and I hope he retires here. He can go on to be a Celtic legend.

    Joe Ledley is a * class act, he works his socks off, he can add some things to his game but that will come surely!

    SUPER JOE :shamrock:

    Cannot emphasise enough how important it is for us to get Ledley tied down until 2016/17. Pronto. Teams will be sniffing around him now, let alone at the end of the season when he will be 6 months away from signing a pre-contract agreement.

    The sooner we get him on a long-term deal the better.....thus avoiding some money grabbing * of an agent turning his head toward 40k a week wages playing for some average * EPL side.

    Celtic had come within a whisker of shocking Barcelona in their own Nou Camp backyard in the previous European tie, only to agonisingly lose in the closing moments.

    Interesting wee stat:
    Over 190 minutes of football, we led Barca for about 150 of them - they led us for about 5 seconds...

    Love how much Joe has taken to the Celtic family. Massive admiration for him. I would love to see him extending his current deal.

    Ledley is a stalwart in our midfield. Fantastic player and I hope he gets the new contract.

    This is from the Scotsman, quoting the same interview for most part, but didn't notice this in the one posted her:
    What a brilliant attitude!

    He is superb at what he does, our midfield metronome.

    Clearly enjoys it here and why wouldn't he? We are a huge club with the best fans in the world and he is part of something special. Mid-table mediocrity in England is for those with a losers attitude. We don't need nor want those types of guys at our club in the first place.

    He deserves all the love he gets from us. One of very few modern footballers I genuinely do not begrudge him getting 25k a week. * it, Lawwell - give him 50!

    Seriously, he plays football for the glory and the love, and the money and fame really are just bonuses for him. The fact that he turned down EPL teams to come here, and stayed 3 years despite not achieving the immediate success he wanted, prove what a man of great character he is.
