Barcelona star Lionel Messi believes Celtic's Aiden McGeady will be the one to watch when the sides meet in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
The Liga giants travel to Scotland in what should be a keenly-contested game at Celtic Park, which can be seen live on Sky One and Sky One HD.
Although Messi is one of the best players in the world, he believes Bhoys counterpart McGeady has the ability to become a success on the continent.
Such is McGeady's natural ability that playmaker Messi believes his Barca team-mates will need to give the winger special attention for the first leg in Scotland.
Skilful
"Aiden McGeady is a fast and skilful winger and someone I rate highly," he told the Record Sport.
"We will have to be careful with him because his movement can be special and he has a great ability to appear in goalscoring positions out of the blue.
"I really like the way he plays football. He is a natural talent, who can create a brilliant piece of play in the blink of an eye and I can assure you our defenders will be paying very close attention to him.
"He'd be successful anywhere in Europe, but I know he likes playing for Celtic, so I'm not sure he'd leave."
Now we're talking, the big boys are finally starting to realise what a talent the wee man is, another couple of performances will do him and us no harm in the coming fortnight :84:
