VICTOR WANYAMA has spoken about his time at Celtic and a particular incident which he claims made him public enemy number one in Glasgow.

Victor signed for Neil Lennon’s side the first time the Irishman took the post and came in as a relative unknown.

He knew of Celtic from watching Glasgow Derbies back in Kenya as a young lad and read about the Lisbon Lions. That’s why when Victor came into the club, he chose the number 67.

Victor recalls one time when he had not long signed for Celtic, he came out of the stadium after a match and posed for pictures with. Elric fans. Some supporters put cardboard in his hand and he posed with it.

He would find out the next day on social media what the cardboard did say and it caused a stir.

“I came out of the stadium after one game and my car was not there. Fans came to me and asked for pictures. They asked me to hold some boards for the pictures. I did not look at them before I held them up.” Wanyama told the Athletic.

“The boards were actually cardboard tombstones.

“I saw the pictures the next day and the boards I were holding had ‘RIP Rangers’ and ‘Bye Bye Rangers’ on them. As you can imagine I was the enemy number one of the Rangers fans after that.”

This was around the time Rangers entered in administration and never came out of it. A new club was formed using the assets of the old one and they were allowed special dispensation to enter the fourth tier of Scottish football.

Celtic fans revelled in the demise of the old club and these tombstones were part of an elaborate banner.

Victor didn’t seem to fussed with becoming an unpopular figure in the other end of Glasgow.
