John Thompson, former Celtic defender shared video highlights of a Motherwell game from ten years ago where, at the time, the young defender grabbed a double.

His career mapped out below:

Playing part-time football now for Atherton Collieries the Englishman also works as an MSK Physiotherapist at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

It does seem like a lifetime ago since that Celtic team played and Josh was part of it.

The 30-year-old reminisced about his double against the Steelmen and revealed his pride at pulling on the Hoops jersey.

Great to hear the player is still in the game and is doing well for himself.
